		<description><![CDATA[毎週木曜の夜中12時は必ず「日本人の知らない日本語」というドラマを見ています。このドラマ、面白いのでけっこう好きです。仲里依紗のファンになった。日本語と日本の文化の勉強にもなる。 先週学校の生協に飲み物とスナックを買いに行ったとき、原作になっている漫画が目に入った。少し読んで、すぐ「買う！」と決断した。ストーリーが面白くて、日本語をまだ勉強してる私にも頷けることばかり。思わず笑ってしまいます。 話も軽いし、読みやすいので日本人だけじゃなくて、日本語を勉強してる留学生にもピッタリです。 もし外国人に日本語を教える日本語教師になりたかったら、この漫画（ここから「まんが」じゃなくて、読み方は「マニュアル」にしよう！）を先に読んだ方がいいッス！ こんな風に外国人とのやりとりを描いている漫画は最近すごく流行っていますね。 ちょっと前、井上真央ちゃんにが出てる「ダリーンは外国人」という映画を見た。その映画の原作も同じ名前の漫画だった。 好きなページを少し紹介。 どうですか？日本人の方、日本語を勉強してる外国人の気持ちがもっと理解できた？ 外国人に日本語を教えたい？ぜひ私たちに正しい日本語を教えてください！ お疲れの出ませんように、よろしくお願いします！へへ。]]></description>
