I'm not too sure why, but over the last couple of months, I've seen a significant increase in the number of Japanese banner ads that have been popping up in my web browser (as opposed to just English ones).

I've been taking screenshots, collecting them for a lesson. This lesson!

Step #1 - Test Your Skills

Let's see how many of these you can dissect accurately...

Step #2 - Uh... Learn... Stuff

Here are some quick translations and breakdowns...

(Note: I'm leaving out parts of the Japanese that are more or less useless for us to study, mostly to save [your] time.)

退職は、前向きにしよう。
たいしょく　は、　まえむき　に　しよう。
Let's quit work in a positive way.
Literally: "leaving a work position + は, + forward-looking + に + let's make."

絶賛採用中です。転職ならGreen。
ぜっさん　さいようちゅう　です。　てんしょく　なら　グリーン。
Now hiring heavily. Green, the choice for changing jobs.
Literally: "highly popular + employment + are doing + is. + changing jobs + if + Green."
Note: "Hiring heavily" doesn't match up with "highly popular + employment + are doing + is," right? The problem is this word 絶賛（ぜっさん）, which actually means "highly reviewed; highly praised; popular," but it's being used here to say that they are hiring a "large number" of applicants. Don't worry if that doesn't make sense to you, because it doesn't make sense to me, either.

うつした　まま　から、　かんじた　まま　へ。

その　あまもり　ほうっておいて　だいじょうぶ？

The End!

That was a lot of information, yeah?

I was gonna break down language and talk about grammar, but I think I'll save it for the next lesson or something instead.
