How do you study this course?

Each lesson has three sections, 1) the main lesson, 2) audio drills and 3) the quizzes. The main lesson is a 15 to 20 minute audio lesson explaining the vocabulary, phrases, dialogs and cultural aspects you need to know for particular travel situations such as shopping or asking for directions.

Next are the audio drills which are a set of phrases you can listen to repeatedly to improve your listening, pronunciation and memorization on the lesson. Simply listen and repeat aloud for the best results for memorization and being able to speak more fluently.

And finally are the lesson quizzes to check you fully understand everything from the lesson. All chapters include PDF lessons notes and text if you want to read the lessons. All the audio and PDF content can be downloaded for later study when you are offline.

This course is compatible with most browsers on desktop PCs, Macs and mobile devices.

I recommend that you study all the lessons from start to finish. However, it is also possible to study each lesson in any order you wish depending on what you would like to know.

I also recommend listening to and repeating out loud the audio drills so you can really internalize the language in order to say it naturally without thinking.

Why did I make this course?

Hi, my name is Alex and some of my biggest loves are learning languages and traveling. But it wasn’t always that way. My first week in Tokyo as a student of Japanese was overwhelming to say the least. I couldn’t understand anyone, I couldn’t read anything and shopping and ordering food were major headaches. It also didn’t help that I had got food poisoning on the flight over from London. In my feverish confused state, I was sure I had made a mistake coming to Japan.

BUT...

Fast forward 12 months and I was convinced that I didn’t want to leave Japan. I had had a fantastic year and I didn’t want it to end. And 20 years later, I am still here in Japan!

What changed? Three things changed my whole perspective.

First, I started to make Japanese friends. Second, I started to very slowly improve my ability to speak and understand Japanese. And finally, I realized that the first two points were a lot easier than I had ever imagined.

I wish I had known this before coming to Japan. I wish I could have learned useful phrases for travel, shopping, eating out and making friends. And this is how this course came about. This is the course I would have taken before coming to Japan to be fully prepared. I hope people new to Japan, can take advantage of my 20 years of of trial and error in discovering the most effective and useful phrases for living, traveling and navigating Japan like a true ninja.

What makes this course unique?

I have included only the most commonly used and effective phrases learned from my 20 years of living and traveling around Japan.

It’s fun
