This website is about the kind of language used in Japanese comics, commonly known as "manga". I have a website about learning to write Chinese letters, too.

It is largely unfinished. I plan to eventually translate into English all the pages of the Spanish version. Meanwhile, you'll find some empty pages here. Sorry about that.

If you think you might be interested in any one of them please let me know and I'll translate that one first. I do this as a hobby, not to have many readers, so I don't have not many readers.

ah, and forgive my bad English. If you can't stand my bad English, feel free to browse the Spanish side of thsi website.
