In this installment of the ‘Vocabulary Introduction Series’ by Naoko, viewers are guided through essential Japanese words frequently encountered when using computers, smartphones, and navigating the internet. As technology becomes increasingly integral to daily life in Japan, understanding the language commonly used with digital devices is vital, especially for learners aiming to communicate fluently in modern contexts.
Naoko focuses on language for daily conversations—not technical or business jargon, but everyday expressions and phrases. The vocabulary covers scenarios familiar to all: sending messages, browsing the internet, adjusting device settings, and engaging with digital platforms. With clear explanations and example sentences, this video is ideal for both beginners and intermediate learners of Japanese who want to comfortably use digital devices and interact with native speakers on tech matters.
Exclusive resources, such as vocabulary lists, reading materials, and quizzes, are available via the creator’s Patreon, offering helpful review sheets for those who wish to reinforce their learning. Naoko also mentions an upcoming follow-up video, where she will demonstrate the vocabulary in conversational contexts, further aiding practical language acquisition.
If you are planning to live, work, study, or travel in Japan—or just want to keep pace with the digital world—mastering these fundamental terms will make your technological interactions much smoother.
