COURSE DESCRIPTION
SPEAKING is definitely the most difficult skill to acquire, especially if you don't have anyone to practice with!
This March, you can have a 15-minute Skype lesson upon completion of
each section! (*section 1 excluded) This means you can get up to 10
lessons, a total of 2.5 hours!

It's quite common when learning a language that you suddenly realize you have knowledge in it, but you can't actually use it.
You become frustrated by this realization. After all, there's no point
in knowing a language if you can't utilize to communicate! This course
prevents such problems from arising, and offers complete beginners a
great way to start learning Japanese. It's a unique experience in which
you can practice using Japanese in many realistic examples and situations.
Master Introductory Level Japanese With A Fun, Interactive Course!
- Realistic Exercises to Prepare You for Actual Use
- Lots of Opportunities to Work With Your Fellow Learners
- Useful Resources to Aid You in Your Learning
- Minimal Use of English to Ensure Maximum Exposure to Japanese
This course will equip you all of the basic Japanese language skills you need!
I designed this course with an emphasis on "can-do".
This means every section, every lesson has a specific goal in terms of
what you'll be able to do upon completing them. After all, learning a
language is pretty pointless if you can't utilize it in real life!
Another great thing about this course is that you can have a step-by-step
learning experience. Each lesson is kept short, so that you can
concentrate on bite-sized contents at a time. This helps you acquire
each skill completely before you move on to learning the next. No fears
of being left behind in this class!
Lastly, this course encourages active learning.
You'll be playing an active role in this class, instead of just
watching me lecture. Keeping your brain active at all times is the best
way to learn!
