Learn Japanese by Watching JoJo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure<\/span>
\nIf you\u2019ve done even a little research into <\/span>how long it takes to learn Japanese<\/span><\/a> then you know it\u2019s going to take a little more than an appreciation of good tsukemen to get the job done. It needs to be something that you genuinely enjoy, something so natural you don\u2019t even think about it. Like breathing. We\u2019re talking about a several-thousand hour commitment here, after all. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>That calls for something beyond a good textbook or caring teacher. Japanese needs to become a daily habit, but it takes awhile to make a habit: pop culture suggests a month and <\/span>research says just over two on average<\/span><\/a>. Whatever you do, it needs to be something you can consistently come back to day in and day out until \u201cJapanese time\u201d becomes a fixed part of your routine. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Some people sneak in a podcast during their lunch break, others work through flashcards during their work commute. I decided to use LingQ to make lessons out of one of the greatest anime series of all time, <\/span>Jojo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Today I\u2019m going to show you how.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overview of Jojo\u2019s Bizarre Adventures<\/h2>\n

To put it into a nutshell that doesn\u2019t do justice, this is a very over-the-top, dramatic and <\/span>bizarre <\/span><\/i>adventure in which Jojo (or his kin) try to impede the diabolical plans of his adopted brother, Dio (or his kin). It begins with an in-house sibling rivalry and eventually grows to encompass the entire world, one step at a time. <\/span>
\nThere\u2019s really no concise way to explain it so you\u2019re just going to have to <\/span>head over to Animelon<\/span><\/a> and check the anime out for yourself. While you\u2019re at it, <\/span>make sure you\u2019ve got the LingQ browser extension enabled<\/span><\/a> so that we can get more out of this anime than a good time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jojo\u2019s Bizarre Adventures Characters<\/h2>\n

Like in any anime of ridiculous proportions, Jojo\u2019s Bizarre Adventure has a ton of characters that tend to both enter and leave the spotlight at unexpected times. With eight seasons spanning two centuries, an entire book could be filled chock-full with flamboyant characters, many simultaneously dashing and clashing. I\u2019ve gathered below a few key ones to help you sort out the chaos you\u2019re about to be dropped into.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jonathon Joestar, aka JoJo<\/strong>
\nOur protagonist with a heart of gold is Jonathon Joestar (JoJo), son of the egregiously wealthy George Joestar. Jojo leads what seems to be an idyllic life until his equally noble father takes in a recently-orphaned Dio Brando, whose single-minded pursuit of wealth and power sparks a conflict that lasts for 8 seasons. The entire anime is basically Jojo (and kin) trying to stand up to an indomitable Dio (and kin). \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jojo\u2019s Memorable Phrases<\/strong>
\nFeel inspired and want to tackle one of Jojo\u2019s heroic quotes yourself? LingQ takes each line from the script and lays it out sentence-by-sentence or paragraph-by-paragraph so that you can follow along, instantly look up unknown words in a dictionary of your choice and then upload these words into an SRS flashcard system for later study. This enables you to reinforce your memory by taking full advantage of context.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span>Let\u2019s take Jojo\u2019s title quote, for example:<\/span>

\"Dio

Dio Brando, aka Dio<\/strong>
\nDio Brando, our antagonist, was born to a broke and abusive father who won the gratitude of George Joestar by saving a family relic (which turned out to be a lie). Years later, Dio is taken in by the Joestar family upon his father\u2019s death. Dio is a cunning megalomaniac who schemes to become the sole heir of the Joestar fortune, becomes an immortal vampire after putting on an ancient stone mask and later sets his sights on the world. Jojo\u2019s arch rival, Dio is the source of conflict driving the anime forwards.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dio Brando\u2019s Memorable Phrases<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s take a stab at that quote from Dio:<\/span>
\n\u4ffa\u306f\u4eba\u9593\u3092\u3084\u3081\u308b\u305e\u3001\u30b8\u30e7\u30b8\u30e7\uff01\u4ffa\u306f\u4eba\u9593\u3092\u8d85\u8d8a\u3059\u308b\uff01<\/span>
\nI quit being human, Jojo! I will transcend (being human)! <\/span>
\nWhile we\u2019re at it, here\u2019s a few more:<\/span>
\nOn the off-chance that you\u2019re wondering whether or not Dio is a team player, here is how he responds when asked<\/span>
\nabout his (childhood) relationship with Jojo:<\/span>
\n\u53cb\u60c5\u3060\u3063\u305f\uff1f\u7dba\u9e97\u4e8b\u3092\u4e26\u3079\u3066\u306b\u3053\u306b\u3053\u3059\u308b\u306a\u3088\u306a\u3001\u30af\u30ba\u3069\u3082\u304c\uff01<\/span>

\"Speedwagon\"

Speedwagon<\/strong>
\nSpeedwagon, despite being a thug from the slums, has an eye (or perhaps a nose) for character and is not a crook to his core. He enters the series with an initial intent of robbing Jojo but was so impressed by how Jojo carried himself that he underwent a change of heart. Speedwagon calls off the mugging and begins to accompany Jojo, becoming a loyal companion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speedwagon\u2019s Memorable Phrases<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s borrow that match Speedwagon is holding to shine a bit of light on this line of his:<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n\u4ffa\u3041\u751f\u307e\u308c\u3066\u304b\u3089\u305a\u3063\u3068\u6697\u9ed2\u8857\u3067\u751f\u304d\u3001\u3044\u308d\u3093\u306a\u60aa\u515a\u3092\u898b\u3066\u304d\u305f<\/span>
\nI\u2019ve lived in the underworld ever since I was born, coming across all sorts of scoundrels,<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u3060\u304b\u3089\u60aa\u3044\u4eba\u9593\u3068\u3044\u3044\u4eba\u9593\u306e\u533a\u5225\u306f\u5302\u3044\u3067\u308f\u304b\u308b\u3002\u3053\u3044\u3064\u306f\u304f\u305b\u3047\uff01<\/span>
\n<\/span>So I can tell a good man from a wicked one just by the way they smell. This one\u2019s rotten! (Dio).<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>So, we know that Speedwagon doesn\u2019t care much for Dio. But what does he have to say about Jojo?<\/span>
\n<\/span>(\u30b8\u30e7\u30b8\u30e7\u306e)\u7236\u89aa\u306e\u7cbe\u795e\u306f\u3001\u7121\u5e95\u306e\u30b8\u30e7\u30ca\u30b5\u30f3\u30fb\u30b8\u30e7\u30fc\u30b9\u30bf\u30fc\u304c\u7acb\u6d3e\u306b\u53d7\u3051\u7d99\u3044\u3067\u3044\u308b\u3002\u305d\u308c\u306f\u5f7c\u306e\u5f37\u3044\u610f\u5fd7\u3068\u306a\u308a\u8a87\u308a\u3068\u306a\u308a\u672a\u6765\u3068\u306a\u308b\u3060\u308d\u3046\u305c\u3002<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Or, perhaps, this entire adventure itself?<\/span>
\n\u4eba\u306e\u51fa\u4f1a\u3044\u3063\u3066\u306e\u306f\u904b\u547d\u3067\u6c7a\u3081\u3089\u308c\u3066\u308b\u306e\u304b\u3082\u3057\u308c\u306d\u3047\u306a<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Zeppi\"

Zepelli<\/strong>
\nZepelli is an eccentric Italian with a taste for wine and sandwiches who, after watching everyone he knew and loved being killed by a vampire, has devoted his life to seeking and destroying the stone mask which Dio took his power from. Along his journey he received training and mastered a meditative martial art known as <\/span>The Ripple<\/span><\/i> which he uses to combat vampires and zombies. Zeppeli becomes a teacher for Jojo, helping him gain the skills he will need to fight Dio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zepelli\u2019s Memorable Phrases<\/strong>
\nLet\u2019s make a ripple of our own by breaking that title quote down with LingQ:<\/span>
\n\u52c7\u6c17\u3068\u306f\u6016\u3055\u3092\u77e5\u308b\u3053\u3068\u6050\u6016\u3092\u6211\u304c\u7269\u3068\u3059\u308b\u3053\u3068\u3058\u3083\uff01<\/span>
\n<\/span>Courage comes from knowing fear – from conquering it and making it your own!<\/span>
\nNow, why in the world would an eccentric baron want to partner up with Jojo? Let\u2019s see:<\/span>

\nA<\/span> major critique of using anime as a method to learn Japanese is the misunderstanding that simply watching a lot of anime (or drama, or NHK, or movies, or any Japanese media content) is going to make you fluent. The problem isn\u2019t so much that there isn\u2019t a lot to learn from resources like these but rather that <\/span>many people simply aren\u2019t at a stage of proficiency where they\u2019re ready for them<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>If I lost you there, let\u2019s liken learning Japanese<\/a> to building strength via weightlifting for a moment. While it\u2019s true, for example, that lifting a 200 pound weight will build more muscle than a 20 pound one, it takes a certain\u2026 power level\u2026 to use that 200 pound weight in the first place. You can\u2019t build muscle with a weight too heavy for you to lift. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Similarly, if you aren\u2019t at a certain level of proficiency in Japanese, you\u2019re going to lean too heavily on subtitles to make sense of what you\u2019re watching. If you\u2019d like to use anime as a learning resource, you have two options:<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Wait until your Japanese improves or…<\/span>
\nBring the anime down to a level that\u2019s more manageable.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
