Abstract
This study aims to provide a detailed description of Japanese language learners' interests. Interests in learning, particularly for foreign language learners, are important in promoting the desire to facilitate and continue learning. In most previous research focusing on learner motivation, interests have been simply classified under intrinsic motivation and hence have not been described in detail. Therefore, this study analyzed the interests of Mexican learners of Japanese. The results indicate some qualitative differences in the contents of the interests according to learners' learning experiences.
