Anyone who is interested in Japan and learning Japanese also wants to be able to use the Internet and social media there. In Japan, even more than in Germany, people learn, research and, above all, communicate with the help of the Internet; people blog, chat and tweet. The language style used is usually not taught in any school.
This bilingual textbook now offers an insight into the Japanese of Web 2.0 for the first time in German-speaking countries. Texts from chat rooms, tweets, blogs and other Internet publications deal, for example, with everyday Japanese life such as job hunting and leisure activities or the reactor accident in Fukushima. The original and translation enable Japanese learners to independently develop this new form of communication. The explanations of grammatical and content-related peculiarities as well as the reading aids, which ensure an uninterrupted reading flow, help.
