… I am so fond of Japanese cartoons that I’ve decided to learn Japanese. Mum says it’s hard, but I think it’s worth it. Besides, their writing is cool!
… What languages do you learn at school? What other language would you like to learn and why? What do you think about my choice of Japanese?…

Dear Ben,
That's fantastic you've decided to learn Japanese! It's a beautiful language with a rich culture, and the writing system is indeed fascinating.
At school, besides Russian, I learn English and French. I've always been intrigued by the idea of learning Spanish next. It's spoken by so many people worldwide, and I believe it would open up numerous cultural and travel opportunities. Plus, Spanish music and literature are so vibrant and full of life.
I think your choice of Japanese is brilliant, especially given your interest in Japanese cartoons. It might be challenging, but your passion for the language and culture will make the learning process enjoyable and fulfilling. Learning a language because you love a specific aspect of its culture can be incredibly motivating.
Keep me updated on your progress, and maybe share some cool phrases you learn!
Best wishes,
[Your Name]
