Learning Japanese at Google "trends" - ファブリス - 2007-07-15

I was playing around with Google trends the other day and was comparing the results of those search terms :

learning chinese, learning japanese

"learning chinese" had a boom in 2005, while "learning japanese" starts off with higher popularity but declines steadily over time; both have gone through a low at the last quarter 2006, with "learning chinese" recovering slightly. I wonder what this lower dent in the graph means.

Interesting also to see where the searches are coming from.

Sadly, "learning kanji - do not have enough search volume to show graphs".

Interesting link! I hadn't seen this google app before.

Adding a few other languages brings in some interesting results also - many of the bumps and changes in the Japanese/Chinese trends correlate with overall interest in learning new languages, it seems.
