It was kinda like that if you were trying to study something that wasn't popular for English language speakers back in the day, like Japanese. Which is hard to imagine because you can't throw a rock without hitting Japanese language learning resources nowadays but 25-30 years ago it was a lot different. I am old.

Yeah, its kinda weird thinking about how drastically views on the japanese have shifted since, say, 1990.

25-30 years ago you ordered a course on tape(s).

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
Ignoring the vast resources of the internet, Japanese language learning materials and interest in courses were probably at their peak in the 80s and early 90s comparatively speaking.

That may be counterintuitive as it predates the great weeb explosion, but Japan was like the pre-eminent world economy for a hot minute, so business Japanese was a big deal. I first learned from a reprint of an 80s business textbook.

Fortunately, knowing how to talk about faxing stuff and taking smoke breaks is as relevant in Japan as ever!!

I remember reading something recently, mighta been on imgur, where a fellow who'd taken Latin studies helped out a lost and confused guy who turned out to be an honest-to-goodness monk, whose only languages were his native Bulgarian (I think?) and ecclesiastical Latin

Could be bullshit but there's a lot worse things to believe happened

They even made a movie about it.

Also the single most useful phrase in any language is "Where can I find beer?" because it's almost always going to be in a bar, where your chances of finding someone who speaks a language you understand is higher, you will likely find a phone, and there will be a bathroom.

Can't you just find the nearest bar with your innate bar-finding sense?
