Learning Japanese from Anime

I wanted to write a post about the quirks of the way the Japanese language is presented in anime, but a written article just couldn't convey what I wanted to share. So, I made a quick video instead. Enjoy!

This is so true. I bet the japanese get a kick out of us when we visit their country and speak their language. They probably are like: Yes, that's an american that learned japanese through anime! :)

Hmmm... That probably does happen. How amusing. Here's another thing I imagine happening: Since the people who would learn Japanese from anime probably hang out with other anime fans, there are probably a lot of references to popular anime that creep into their everyday conversation. The people they hang out with get those references, because they're into anime too. Then, when they go to Japan they use those phrases or expressions and most people don't get it because they're not into that anime. Kind of like assuming that everyone in the USA watches American Idol, CSI or Star Wars.
