I've recently read posts from people who were frustrated that they learned difficult languages (Dutch and Japanese were mentioned) only to find that the native speakers would shift to English as soon as they detected they weren't talking to another native speaker. I've long dreamed of learning Japanese (took a year in high school and again in college), but am daunted by the fact that I still need to learn katakana and kanji (I really only ever learned hiragana) and then won't really have much opportunity to practice the language. I do hope to travel to Japan someday, but maybe it makes sense to only learn "travel" Japanese, like I've done with Italian, German and French. Maybe it only makes sense to REALLY learn the language if you plan on living abroad with the language for a longer period.
