One of the best parts about getting into anime and
manga is learning about the language it originally
comes from. Japanese is a language that is both simple
and complex - it may start out easy at first, but
when you start putting syllables, words, and even
situations together, it might just get a little bit
harder. However, many anime/manga fans have shown
an interest in learning the Japanese language, some
even going so far as to become fluent in it - a major
feat due to the major differences between Japanese
and most other languages.
As
always, AnimeInfo.org is here to help, and resident
Japanese-language experts Chris and Pierre take you
through the basics of some very rudimentary Japanese.
You might not be able to hold a conversation by the
end of this class, but you'll at least be able to
know the bare minimum so you don't happen to embarass
yourself trying to explain how Japanese works! From
basic syllables to simple words, this class has it
all to get you started on the road to understanding
the original language of anime and manga just a little
bit more.
