Learn Japanese in One Easy Shirt

Let ThinkGeek help you prepare for your anime pilgrimage to Tokyo. For the uninitiated, Japan is like a futuristic otaku Disneyland with beer vending machines. But... you may need some language skillz and ThinkGeek has a fine shirt to assist with your schooling.

You probably have heard that Japanese is a difficult language to master... however we have it on good authority from Timmy (the faithful ThinkGeek monkey mascot) that Japanese is easier to learn than Leetspeak. Timmy speaks Japanese and Leet perfectly... but sadly we can't seem to understand his English. Here is the secret skinny from Timmy; many handy Japanese words are actually borrowed from English but changed slightly to match the syllable sounds of the Japanese language. Now take a closer look at the Japanese for Beginners shirt. It provides all the useful Japanese words you may need in an easy to pronounce and accurate format. Amazing eh? Don't thank us, just send lots of Japanese biru... and remember the Japanese word for "food" isn't "foodu" it's "tabemono".

100% cotton, heavyweight t-shirt in blue dusk with handy Japanese language guide on the front.
