Karaoke カラオケ Peu de gens, y compris au Japon, connaissent l’origine de ce mot. Karaoke vient de la contraction de kara ôkesutora 空オーケストラ (kara 空 signifiant « vide » et ôkesutora オーケストラ « orchestre »). Joshiana 女子アナ Joshi 女子 signifie « fille ». Voici une abbréviation à l’Occidentale pour la Golden Week, cette semaine de jours fériés à cheval entre la fin avril et début mai.

Purikura プリクラ Ici aussi, kura クラ vient de kurabu クラブ (« club ») alors que puri プリ vient de purinto プリント (print en anglais, « impression » en français). Gêsen ゲーセン Fusion de gêmu ゲーム (game en anglais) et de sentâ センター (center en anglais), ce sont les salles de jeux d’arcade. Sekuhara セクハラ Risutora リストラ Encore une abbréviation qui vient d’un mot anglais : restructuring (devenu risutorakucharingu リストラクチャリング). Pasokon パソコン Rimokon リモコン

Tangorin Japanese Dictionary Japanese With Manga A couple of weeks ago I posted how reading manga can be good for your Japanese , but I only touched on learning to read from scratch. Thankfully, one of my friends natuskigirl (Lynn) followed through with her comment on that post , and put together two videos on how to start learning Japanese with manga. The videos are excellent in outlining the steps you need to take to start using manga as a learning aide, so I thought I might feature them here and add a few of my own ideas. Lynn started learning Japanese from manga when she was 13 years old, and has posted lots of cool manga collecting videos on her YouTube channel " tokirocket ". We'll get to the second part of the video soon, but first I just want to summarise some of the points Lynn made about the first steps you need to take. 3 Steps you need to take to begin reading First: Memorise the kana. Japanese has three alphabets, hiragana, katakana and kanji. Second: Choose the right manga. Choose something with a long, cohesive storyline.

Medical Dictionary Anthropology | 21A.219 Law and Society, Spring 2003 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。

Tae Kim's Guide to Learning Japanese How To Use Evernote To Study Japanese (Or Any Other Language) One application which I’ve used for a long time is Evernote, though I’ve mostly been collecting and organizing recipes… until now. Just today, as I was scrolling through the Asahi Shinbun, I had an epiphany. I should be saving articles, sentences, vocabulary, and what-have-you in Evernote so that I can easily search for them later if I ever need to come up with examples on how grammar, vocab, etc., is used in a sentence. Doing this with Japanese blogs would be splendid too. More importantly, I’m going to deconstruct how to use Evernote for language learning (specifically Japanese in this article). What Is Evernote? First off, you should probably learn more about how Evernote works, on a whole, before I dive into how you can use it to study Japanese. So how about using it to learn Japanese, or perhaps some other language? Copying Articles To Practice Later With Evernote, you can install their browser plugin, highlight the text you want, and then click the Evernote button. 1. 2.
