Learn & Speak Japanese

I have set up this website as a helper for people that want to learn to speak Japanese. There are free lessons and also review of the the best paid products avaiable.

Despite what some people may think, Japanese is actually a lot easier to pick up than you might think. The sounds of the language are very consistent and there are also a lot less of them to learn, when compared to English!!

Ok now for some advice for you...

Before I explain the possibilites to you, you will want to consider how much money you want to spend and how valuable your time is. I for one have very little spare time and money, and this is where the beauty of learning Japanese online comes into play.

The internet has opened up a way for language companies to come to you in the comfort of your own home. The courses that are available today use state of the art multimedia and it is almost like you are in the classroom. The best part is that this method of learning is much more affordable and a lot more convenient.

The other thing you need to think about is, why are you learning the Japanese language? The reason I ask this is because the course you choose will depend on the outcome you are looking for.

If you want to learn to speak Japanese confidently in everyday conversation because you are going on holiday or have a Japanese partner etc...then you are best off getting a conversational Japanese language course: NinjaJapanese Recommends

However if you are wanting to study in a Japanese University then you need to realise that they require you to pass what's called the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT). This test is not a simple pass so you must put in study time and to help you in this venture I reseached and discovered this online course: JLPT Mastery and they have receive great reviews from students.

The other point to think about is if you want to read and write in Japanese straight away (most people want to speak Japanese first and move onto reading and writing after) then I would not choose a conversational course and would pick a writing course. Bare in mind that the best language classes online and offline always teach students to 'speak' Japanese before moving onto writing.

However incase you job requires you to read and write, say in tourism or international business, then the best course for this is: Kanji Supremacy. This course is impressive as they teach you all three writing scripts, Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji in under a month.

I hope my months of research will help guide you to the best Japanese language course for you, so you can learn to speak Japanese confidently too.

Extra Learning Techniques

It is very important to learn to speak Japanese from a course or private tutor when you are first taking up Japanese, as this will help you understand the grammar build a strong foundation to build upon.

When you have reached a more confident level though, you may also want to consider the following resources to mix up your learning:

1.) Read Mange Comics

2.) Watch Japanese Movies With English Subtitles

3.) Listen To Japanese Music

4.) Watch Japanese T.V. On YouTube

5.) Listen To Japanese Radio (you can tune in through the internet)

6.) Speak With Japanese Tourists

By employing a mixture of these elements you will train your brain to listen/read Japanese in the content of real conversations.

This is a very important aspect of learning any language and helps you to learn by association. After time you will begin to recognise words much faster and be able top string sentences together quickly.
