What language skills am I likely to have after studying Japanese for four years at Pitt?
If you a good learner of language, apply yourself diligently over your career at Pitt, and take advantage of our study abroad program, you are likely to be able to have no problem in social and occupational use of the language in speaking (OPI scale of Advanced). In reading, you can expect to be able to read contemporary materials (Web sites, books, newspapers, letters, and e-mails, to name a few) with help from dictionaries.
