Learning Japanese via anime
Another good Japanese learning rescouces seem’s to be on the way according to anime news network:
The Japan Foundation, the organization dedicated to promoting Japanese culture, has launched a website on February 1 to teach the Japanese language through dialogue examples “from anime and manga works popular overseas.”
Among its many activities, the foundation administers the Japanese Language Proficiency Test and runs several language and cultural institutes in Japane and overseas.
The sites purpose is outlined as such;
The aim of this site is to give Japanese learners and anime/manga fans from all over the world an opportunity to learn Japanese in an enjoyable way, using that anime/manga as an gateway to their studies
At the moment the site is very buggy and missing a lot of things mostly because it is not fully online yet. When the site is fully ready it will include a things such as Kanji study and word quizzes. You can check out the site here: http://anime-manga.jp/index.html
Site seems like it’ll be fun but I wonder how good for Japanese study it will be; at least it’ll beat grinding away at kanji for hours.
For those studying Japanese here is a good program to check out
