Why a blog on learning japanese words easily?
First of all, I am a language enthusiast. I am facinated with how humans communicate with each other.
I started appreciating other languages, most especially Japanese, when I was just a child watching Japanese anime. I have always wished that I would be able to understand what was being said by the characters rather than read the English subtitles because reading them makes me miss out a lot on the scenes.
Watching these shows also gave me an interest in studying Japanese martial arts like Karate-do, Aikido, Judo, Jujitsu (Jujutsu), Kenjutsu and, of course, Ninjitsu. I started learning a few words when I investigated these arts.
Though not the #1 most widely spoken language in the world, it still ranks in the Top Ten, #9 to be exact with 125 million speakers world wide at the very least.
It also has a wide cult following due to the popularity of Japanese cartoons (anime) and comics (manga). I actually know of someone who formally studied the Japanese language just to be able to watch anime that have not yet been translated to English or Filipino or had subtitles added to them.
Japanese companies are taking dominion in the world market. All of us are very familiar with Honda, Yamaha, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Sony, Nintendo, Suzuki, Mazda, Aiwa, etc. Lots of people work in these companies with Japanese expat bosses.
Another reason to learn Japanese is because the Japanese government has been so generous in giving out scholarships to study in Japan (Monbusho scholarships). The education is top-notch, however, most of the schools have Japanese as the main medium of instruction.
Hmm…why else would somebody want to study Japanese? For the food of course! I love Japanese food and I love being able to know what those food names mean.
I am also a Christian and a pastor. Our church has always had the nations in mind. For me, a major step in reaching out to people of every nation is to learn their language. How can we communicate the love of Christ when we can’t understand each other. It’s more than just developing the heart for the nations. It’s developing the mind for the nations.
Lastly, why a blog on how to study Japanese words easily? Because it can be done. I am the developer of a memory system called Power Memory. It is based on ancient Greek and Roman techniques but I have modified them and developed a teaching and learning method to make someone quickly functional in the system.
With the these techniques, it is very much possible to learn 10, 20, 50, 100 words and even more in just a single day!
In this blog, I’m going to show you how and for FREE!
Of course, learning the words is not exactly the same as learning the language. You have to study the grammar and the culture to do that. However, the bulk of language learning is in vocabulary building.
Would you believe that in everyday conversation you actually use not more than 850 words on the average? So learning and mastering a few words at a time will help you eventually conquer the language.
Who knows? By just knowing a few Japanese words could win the favor and the friendship of the next Japanese person you meet. It has worked for me. It can work for you.
Oh, by the way, what I didn’t mention is that my system in learning is so fun that it’s actually not like you’re studying. You don’t really have to stretch those brain muscles (of course there aren’t any).
Just visit and read this blog often and with very little effort you will learn exciting new words.
Have a nice day!
P.S. Watch out for my other blogs on learning Korean, Mandarin and Spanish words.
Your blog is an excellent resource for beginners like me. Like you I got hooked on Japanese (and yes, I love the food too) amine and was tired of reading the English sub-titles…so, I (too busy to attend a Japanese language class) have resorted to an online course at http://learnjapanesequickly.blogspot.com and have been learning at my own “slow” pace. Your blog is an excellent resource for beginners like me. Thanks for helping me learn.
You are so welcome. If you want to request words for translation, just leave me a note.
