Language Count

Languages used in Japan: 3

Japanese
English
Portuguese

I spoke to a man in Portuguese today since he spoke neither English nor Japanese. Portuguese is especially popular in Japan; for example, ATM's are usually available in Japanese, Korean, English, and Portuguese. I have heard quite a bit of Brazilian music in restaurants as well.

One of my Japanese language professors is from Brazil; she was delighted when I told her that I practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
