Have you ever wanted to learn Japanese but did not know where to start? Maybe you’ve tried self-teaching books or classes before.
What most of these traditional methods focus on is skill mastery and a lack of actual language usage. In this course, you will learn the absolute basics of the Japanese language with a usage-based approach. The curriculum used here – Marugoto – is known for its easy and colorful style. This course is jam-packed with activities to help you start using Japanese for daily life, not for a test.

A love and passion for learning a second language.

Can I use this course for a standardized test such as the JLPT?
Yes, this course can absolutely compliment your standardized test studies. Keep in mind that this course is only the first in a series of introductory lessons with nearly 11.5 hours of video content.
