Japanese

Most people who watch anime and read manga are also interested in the language the anime or manga was written in or spoken in (in the original). This language is, obviously, Japanese. Below is a list of vocabulary and also some phrases you might hear while watching the anime, or read while reading the manga. This is by no means a complete list of what I know, but it's a start. If you want a good webpage to help you start speaking japanese, try maktos.com. It's a pretty good site ^^ and it helps a lot. However, the best way to learn the language if you are interested is by taking a class. There aren't a lot of colleges or universities that allow it, and thankfully I attend a college that allows me to take the language as a course.
