When I was learning Japanese, one of the suggestions for building vocabulary was to place labels on various items around the house in Japanese. Apparently, the interest in learning English is very wide-spread in Japan as evidenced by the first picture below from Hani Hani: Operation Sanctuary.

The second picture, also from Hani Hani, may hold some deeper meaning that I currently do not understand; of course, it could simply be something silly to offset the typically serious and academic tone of this website…

Speaking of serious, I ran across a serious little comic the other day.
