Hirofumi Yamada

Hiro, a Japanese-German translator and interpreter, grew up in both cultures. Known for his social media channel ‘Einfach Japanisch’, he talks about Japanese language and culture in short videos. In his book Einfach Japanisch, he takes you on an imaginary journey to the land of manga and anime! Through stories and facts, he conveys the basics of the Japanese language – not with the aim of teaching fluent Japanese, but to spark curiosity and make it easier to get started. Enriched with plenty of background information, interesting tidbits and numerous illustrations by David Füleki, the book serves as a springboard for anyone who is enthusiastic about Japanese and wants to delve deeper into the peculiarities and the face behind this fascinating language.
