Japanese Language and Media Institute (JLMI), which is under the umbrella of one of the leading schools in Tokyo for professional visual media translators, has announced a new series of workshops where students can interact with Japanese pop culture and learn simple Japanese at the same time.

A Fun Series of Workshops Centered Around Anime, Video Games, and More

In this series of five workshops, students will have the chance to take part in and experience different activities related to Japanese pop culture and media. Each workshop gives students a chance to try their hand at something new, while at the same time giving them an opportunity to pick up simple Japanese words and phrases at the N5 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). No prior knowledge of the Japanese language is required.

The topics of the workshops are all related to Japanese pop culture and media, and they include learning Japanese through video games and attempting a simple video game walkthrough, creating English subtitles for anime using professional subtitling software, learning how to sing J-pop/anime songs in Japanese, creating a short video in Japanese using simple video editing software, and doing a voice-over in Japanese for anime – experiences you won’t be able to find anywhere else.

Professional Teachers who Love Japanese Pop Culture As Much As You Do

This course is taught by a group of professionals who have extensive experience in the fields of translation and content localization who are eager to share their love of Japanese pop culture and media with students at the workshops. All teachers are bilingual in English and Japanese and have extensive knowledge of Japanese media and culture, enabling them to easily explain these concepts to students.
