Taking a JPN 101 - Elementary Japanese I class online for a community college. Does this...

<p>sound like a good idea? </p>

<p>Right now, I've already added 3 in-person classes in my class schedule for the Spring and I'm thinking of adding one online class so I will be able to fit it with my work and extracurricular schedules. Sounds like a good idea to take a foreign language class online(In case your wondering, I"m trying to major in Software Engineering Computer Science and minor in Japanese, hoping that I can get myself a work visa for Japan and hopefully find any job that demands this kind of skill set over there)?</p>

<p>In short words, is it worth my time and money to take an online Japanese course in community college(to start off learning the language), even if I’m only just minoring it, not majoring it?</p>
