goo Research recently conducted a survey into overseas travel and language learning, the highlights of which japan.internet.com published.
Demographics
Between the 7th and 9th of November 2012 1,094 members of the goo Research online monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 53.2% of the sample were male, 16.3% in their teens, 18.3% in their twenties, 21.5% in their thirties, 16.4% in their forties, 15.6% in their fifties, and 12.0% aged sixty or older.
I too much specify a preference for real books and real language schools, which leads me to think that perhaps there is an age bias in this survey. The figures were not reported, but older people tend to travel overseas more (I think?), thus older people would tend to be more wedded to 20th century technology, thus the bias away from virtual learning?
Since I?m mentioning online learning, I?ll put in a good word for Tofugu; he offers online Japanese courses along with his rather entertaining blog.
