世論 What Japan Thinks

Today’s fun from goo Ranking is a look at what kinds of lessons people might expect to have a romantic encounter, for both women encountering men and men encountering women.

Demographics

Between the 20th and 22nd of April 2011 1,110 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 60.5% of the sample were female, 10.8% in their teens, 16.2% in their twenties, 27.4% in their thirties, 26.4% in their forties, 9.3% in their fifties, and 9.9% aged sixty or older.

Women put English conversation fourth, although I wonder if they are hoping to meet another student or the teacher?
