JAPANESE THROUGH SERIES.
The Japanese language is something many of us have heard, especially teenagers who are fans of anime and series that continue to shape our lives.
This country has produced many great series that have been seen and recognized worldwide, enjoying great popularity in the entertainment industry. Many people love reading subtitles and listening to anime in its original language. I love watching anime and reading manga, although others hate reading and prefer to translate everything into their own language.
Well, it's a matter of personal preference, but I do feel that watching series dubbed in my own language would take away all the value of the series. Besides, by watching series and listening to the original language, I learn words that, well, maybe I won't use because I don't have any friends who know Japanese, but I'd save them to tease people, and if I ever find someone, I'd put them into practice. Of course, they might not understand me, but I'd try to use their language out of respect or the basics I've learned, like greetings and other things that are always seen in series. By the way, nobody cares, but my favorite anime is Dragon Ball, and my son also likes series. It's a hobby I share with him. We enjoy the free time I have to watch various anime that are currently airing. I do make him read subtitles so he can absorb the words. To be honest, I'm fascinated by Japanese. I love listening to how they speak; their accents really catch my attention, and I'd love to learn this language too. Maybe later on, but right now I'm focused on English and I'm too lost to start another one.
For example, this video below is subtitled in English, but it's in the original Japanese.
Love your passion for Japanese through anime and manga—watching in original with subs (and sharing Dragon Ball with your son!) is the best way to pick up the real feel, accents, and fun phrases like "ohayou" (good morning), "konnichiwa" (hello), "arigatou" (thanks), or Goku's "ora"! It keeps the magic alive and shows respect for the culture. Keep enjoying those sessions—when you're ready for more Japanese (after English), it'll come naturally! What's your favorite Dragon Ball arc? 😄
