http://weblish.net/otaku/ Otaku! 英会話 uses the interesting Japanese sub-culture from Akihabara to inspire interest in learning English. By using original Japanese words created in Otaku culture based on Patrick Galbraith's book The Otaku Encyclopedia, the show teaches Japanese how to explain these words in English. Also, on another level, we learn about Akihabara and the sub-culture in more details. It is a 3 dimensional way to learn! Most importantly, it's fun! 　 en Copyright 2010 Thu, 20 May 2010 11:38:37 +0000 http://www.sixapart.com/movabletype/?v=3.2ysb5-20051201 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Weblish_otaku92.mp4]]> http://weblish.net/otaku/2010/05/9_bishjo_game_otaku.html http://weblish.net/otaku/2010/05/9_bishjo_game_otaku.html Thu, 20 May 2010 11:38:37 +0000 Weblish_otaku8.mp4]]> http://weblish.net/otaku/2010/05/8_itasha_otaku.html http://weblish.net/otaku/2010/05/8_itasha_otaku.html Mon, 10 May 2010 11:49:22 +0000 http://weblish.co.jp Special thanks to Brightcove for bandwidth and support!
