Learn Japanese through Memes - Paperback

by Yumi Boutwell (Author), Clay Boutwell (Author)

For Beginning to Intermediate Students of Japanese

Vocabulary through memes

Memes. They are everywhere these days. A meme is most often an humorous image with text that is spread rapidly by internet users. We think funny memes can be a good way to learn vocabulary and Japanese sentence structure.

The memes found in this collection were posted on our Instagram over the past few years and have been edited and expanded for this book.

The sentences found in this collection may or may not be beginner level, but every word and grammar point is explained so even beginners can understand. Nearly all examples are very casual, and while mostly suitable for using around friends, it isn't recommended for use with people you've just met.

If you find a sentence you like, try memorizing it so you can plug and play other words to use the form in different contexts.
The sentences are short and represent natural Japanese you may not find in regular Japanese textbooks.

Who is this for?
Any student of Japanese wanting to improve Japanese vocabulary and an understanding of casual Japanese sentence structure.
