Japanese in Anime & Manga: Workshop for Japanese Language Learners

Boost your understanding of the world of anime & manga while increasing your Japanese language skills using a specially-designed online resource!

Japanese in Anime & Manga (anime-manga.jp) is an e-learning site created by the Japan Foundation to give Japanese learners and anime & manga fans an opportunity to learn Japanese in an enjoyable way, using the anime & manga they enjoy as a gateway to their studies. The site features language actually used by characters in anime and manga works popular overseas, enabling users to learn styles of Japanese not found in the usual textbooks and dictionaries. Users can also learn through quizzes and games, choosing their own preferred study contents and method, according to their own level and interests.

This workshop, hosted by Ms Nanae Kumano (Developer of the Japanese in Anime & Manga website and Language Education Specialist at Japan Foundation Madrid), will introduce learners to the Japanese in Anime & Manga website, and explore how the site can be used to enhance your own Japanese language studies and enjoyment of Japanese culture.
