Due to it being a rather different language than some
others you may be more familiar with out there, Japanese
can be a very intimidating thing. As with any culture
looking in from the outside on a native language,
learning Japanese, no matter what the reason, can
be a daunting thing, especially if you want to try
your hardest not to look silly. Anime's original language
is one that may intrigue, intimidate, or make you
curious, yet it is one that anime and manga fans are
exposed to all the time.
This
class is a very basic introduction to the Japanese
language. None of the complications of college courses
or whole semesters here - you've got straightforward,
plain language that will help you get started. You
won't be a complete master of the language after taking
this class - heck, you might not be even able to hold
a conversation yet. But this will definitely set you
on the right track. Join Frank on a short little tour
of the Japanese language and how it works.
