Kana de Manga Special Edition: Shortcuts! Japanese Abbreviations and Contractions

How much Japanese do you know? Probably a whole lot more than you think even if you ve barely studied the language ... or haven't tried to at all! Japanese is rich in vocabulary borrowed from other languages especially English. These loanwords offer you a little shortcut on the long road toward mastery of the language. And many of the words have been turned into simple abbreviations contractions and acronyms which makes them even easier to memorize. For instance we watch anime (animation) shop at the depato (department store) send text messages on our sumaho (smartphone) and listen to BGM (background music) while studying. This special edition of the award-winning Kana de Manga series features nearly 200 abbreviations contractions and acronyms. Studying these shortcuts is a fun and easy way to jump-start your Japanese!
