The Japan Foundation found that many non-Japanese like to learn Japanese because they enjoy anime and manga. So this got them to thinking. They have made a website that reminds me of the old Japanese manga study magazine called "Mangajin." Visit Anime-Manga.jp if you love these types of entertainment and study Japanese for that purpose, or would like to study Japanese through manga. It seems like a great idea! Those textbooks sure get dry after a while. They have English translations of the manga, so it is a great way to learn colloquial Japanese. Another great way to learn Japanese and a number of languages is by using Cerego. There are a variety of activities and you can even choose what you want to study. It is all free! Check out Cerego and you can even create your own courses based on what you want to study.
