Japanese lessons on Phantom River Stone

For any players of Shenmue who are inquisitive or have been inspired to find out more about the Japanese language, we are starting up a new series on Phantom River Stone called "Learn Japanese through Shenmue" aimed at beginners of Japanese. It will be structured around scenes and dialogue from Shenmue to add interest to the process of learning about the language. I hope you'll follow along and have fun.

The first lesson is available right now for blog patrons, and by the end of the month on the main blog for the public release.

Here's a little teaser...

Yeah, I would like to. I've got the chance to take the exam on December here in Venice.
実は大学で日本語を勉強した。去年卒業したが、最近日本語で話す機会がないから、真面目に練習るすべきだ。(残念ですが、仕事中日本語が使わない。) :mrgreen:

That's a great aim. A good thing about the JLPT is that it helps give motivation to study, and you can buy study books on what's covered at each level.
