25 Episodes Series been aired in Japanese TV to teach JAPANESE BASICS to foreigners. Maybe someone outthere can still remember the very good series "Yan and the Japanese People - Lets learn Japanese" from 1986, with is still very popular amount Students of japanese language. The 2007 Series is called Erin ga Chosen! NIHONGO DEKIMASU and also comes from Japan Foundation.

This DVD hows basic polishing methods for Japanese style blades, including final polishing methods to make the hamon really pop. Several methods are shown including sandpaper, belt grinder and Japanese water stones. Etching and final hybrid (i.e. non-traditional) polishing will also be covered. It should be noted that this is not a "how to polish nihonto" video. It's aimed first and foremost at smiths who are making functional modern blades. That said, if you're looking to improve the polish or geometry on an imported tameshigiri blade, this video will have plenty of information for you. In particular we've tried to demystify the subject of Japanese water stones. Three blades are polished, including a shinogi zukuri blade, so you'll see how to set the geometry of the shinogi and the kissaki -- the two most difficult aspects of foundation polishing.

Let's Learn Japanese is a video-based Japanese language study course for English speakers produced by The Japan Foundation.

The two seasons (Series I and Series II) were originally aired on television at a rate of one episode per day, with each episode consisting of two lessons. Text books which complement the series were also available; these contained vocabulary lists, explanations of grammar, transcriptions of scenes from within the program, and cultural information about Japan. By now, the first book is out of print but the second book is still available from some sources. Both seasons used a drama called Yan and the Japanese People for instruction. This drama consisted of scenes which focus on the experiences of a young man named Yan (played by Nick Muhrin), a foreigner living and working in Japan.

Japanese is spoken by about 130 million people, 122 million of whom are in Japan. There are also speakers in the Ryukyu Islands, Korea, Taiwan, parts of the United States, and Brazil. Pimsleur's Japanese teaches a polite level of Japanese, which is appropriate for use in most situations in Japan.
