The ‘08 season for the Seattle Seahawks was a lost season if you will - no one could stay healthy and the season was over before it began.

Much of the reason for the team’s horrible 2008 season can be assigned to the fact that Matt Hasselbeck, the team’s long time quarterback, was lost for much of the season due to injury. Doesn’t look like he’ll be able to stay healthy throughout this season either.

New head coach Jim Mora should have his team ready week in and week out and the embarrassment of the 08′ season will be forgotten. He’s the type of no non-sense coach and going to make some quick improvements this season.

Matt Hasselback proved when he is healthy he is one of the most efficient QB’s in the NFL — the problem is he hasn’t been able to stay healthy the last couple seasons.

In 08′, Hasselback only started 7 games for the Seahawks — when he did play he only completed 52% of his pass attempts with 5 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. Hasselback is in his mid 30s — there are not many good years left for him one would assume if he can’t stay on the field.

The Seahawks looked great in an easy week 1 victory against the visiting St. Louis Rams, blanking them by a score of 28-0. Let’s keep in mind that the Rams were one of the worst teams in the league last season, so this doesn’t prove much.

Week 2 wasn’t as kind to them, as the team lost in San Francisco to the 49ers, a fellow NFC West team. Not only did they lose the game, but Hasselbeck took a serious shot.

Hopefully, the injuries that wrecked the Seahawks 08′ season can be avoided in 09′. If they can stay healthy, they’ll at least be able to put up a fight in plenty of games.

What are some of the reasons that one might want to take a look at the Japanese language? For one, anime is a great cultural item that has become particularly big in many parts of the world including the United States.

Japan is also liked by many people because it has a strong traditional culture and a very strong business culture which has promoted Japan to being the second largest economy in the world.

For whatever your reason may be for learning a language like Japanese, you must remember a few things that learning a foreign language successfully means.

Japanese is one of the more difficult languages to learn for English speakers because it does not use the same script for reading and writing and also because it has few similar words with English.

European languages, especially the romance languages, are a lot easier for English speakers to learn because they share many grammatical similarities and the vocabulary is often similar due to Latin influences. So, it is very easy to pick up vocabulary in these languages because the words are so similar to the English words already.

This means that learning Japanese is a little bit more tricky but I am not saying that it is impossible.

What this truly means is that you must have a strong desire to learn that Japanese language if you are going to be successful in becoming proficient in it.

My best advice to you is to make sure that your reason for learning the foreign language, in this case, Japanese, is a strong one.

So, whether you want to become better at business and open up new opportunities or if you want to better understand that next anime episode you watch, make sure you keep that desire strong in your mind and heart.

Whatever the case may be, remember to keep this reason foremost in your mind and that will help bring the spark to keep you going in the long process which master a foreign language like Japanese entails. Good luck and I hope that you continue to make progress in learning Japanese.
