Have Fun Learning Japanese With AKBINGO! I love AKBINGO! It’s one of my all time favorite Japanese variety shows, right on up there with Gaki no Tsukai. (P.S. if you haven’t already heard of Gaki no Tsukai, do yourself a huge favor and check that out as well.) Over the past century, we’ve written a few posts about the stars of AKBINGO! Lesser known (I think) is the band’s variety show, AKBINGO! AKBINGO! [yframe url=' I’ve included a few videos with English subs for those who aren’t as far along in their Japanese studies, but these videos will give you a good feel for the show. [yframe url=' Since this is a variety show, the cast members speak much faster and sometimes even talk over one another. [yframe url=' Another bonus to the show is that it features both male and female speakers with largely unscripted dialogue. [yframe url=' Like I mentioned before, AKBINGO! [yframe url=' AKBINGO!
The Surprisingly Simple Logic Behind Japanese Sentence Structure - 80/20 Japanese Most people find Japanese sentence structure to be difficult and confusing. This is completely understandable considering how fundamentally different it is to other languages, but the truth is that Japanese grammar is actually incredibly logical – it just needs to be looked at from the right angle. In simple terms, Japanese sentences are structured as follows: the verb describing an action goes at the end of the sentence, and any other information related to that action (like people, places and things) goes before the verb. Particles, which are like little helper words, are then attached to each of these additional pieces of information to tell us how that information relates to the action. For example, a particle will tell us if the word before it is the person doing the action, the thing the action is done to, the location where it is done, or something else. Let’s get to it! ContentsBasic “desu”「です」 sentencesHow particles workDefining different rolesExpanding individual elements はです。 はです。

Gakuu - Real Japanese SPECTRUM NEXUS · Features · Mangajin · Learn Japanese Through Manga! What is Mangajin? Mangajin was created in the early 90's as a monthly English publication for students of the Japanese language. Unlike most text books that focused solely on teaching people Japanese through boring text, Mangajin was different in that it focused on showing readers a page of manga and then a page of English translations. As great of an idea that this sounds today, it didn't catch on in the 90's and Mangajin ended in 1996. Now manga in America is as popular as ever, which is why I have decided to put Mangajin onto this web site. View Mangajin Online Japanese Language As a native English speaker, there are very few languages as intimidating to learn as Japanese. After all, many young people interested in the Japanese language are interested because of their obsession with Japanese anime and manga. The benefits of learning Japanese are extremely useful.
The JLPT Study Page Free Online Course Materials | Resource Home How I learned a language in 22 hours "What do you know about where I come from?" That was one of the first questions I ever asked Bosco Mongousso, an Mbendjele pygmy who lives in the sparsely populated Ndoki forest at the far northern tip of the Republic of Congo. We were sitting on logs around a fire one evening four years ago, eating a dinner of smoked river fish and koko, a vitamin-rich wild green harvested from the forest. I'd come to this hard-to-reach corner of the Congo basin – a spot at least 50km from the nearest village – to report a story for National Geographic magazine about a population of chimpanzees who display the most sophisticated tool-use ever observed among non-humans. Mongousso, who makes his living, for the most part, by hunting wildlife and gathering forest produce such as nuts, fruits, mushrooms and leaves, had teeth that had been chiselled to sharp points as a child. "I don't know. "Have you ever heard of the United States of America?" He shook his head. I didn't know where to begin.
