Japanese political jargon: how to learn it? - clemente - 2010-08-28
Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could suggest books, web-pages, word-lists, etc. regarding the vocabulary used in politics/economics.
I am trying to read the main daily newspapers regularly and increase my skills as I get along, but something more specific would be cool.
Thank you in advance for any help or suggestion.
Cheers

I find that reading political editorials with a tutor as the best way to go.
Other than that what you are already doing is good. Just read political magazines, newspapers, and watch the news every night.

Thank you for the nice links.
I was also wondering if there was any book or dictionary similar to those used for technical Japanese.

I personally found the book "How to read a Japanese Newspaper - 1. Newspaper Terms" (Japanese Title: "外国人のための新聞の見方・読み方") very helpful. It's 2000 Yen but was well worth the money for me. You should know though, that it's merely more than just a list of words and maybe some 400 or 500 example sentences.
