Basic Japanese Lessons for Beginners - The Best Affordable Online Japanese Course

Speaking Practice by Yourself

​​If you are NOT confident in speaking, do you agree with one of these?
a) You don't have a chance to practise speaking.
b) You don’t want to make mistakes in front of the native speakers.
c) You feel the limitation of your seif-study materials.

If so, you will start speaking with a smile  in 4 weeks through the video lessons.
Of course, you will understand the grammar clearly with the culture aspects behind it.
 

My incredibly popular teaching materials and speaking tasks among my private students are finally available for you for low tuition fees with unlimited access. You will also equip Japanese etiquettes and body language.

Instruction for Each Lesson
​
Please follow the steps as an example. You can use the materials however you would like.
Step 1 - Introduction Video - Input shower is essential as the first step for you speaking. 
  1. Watch an introduction video and take notes.
  2. Watch it many times until you understand the grammar and expressions and remember these fully.
  3. Play the video whenever you can in your daily life. For example, while brushing your teeth and having breakfast.
  4. Repeat the expressions many times until you can say these smoothly. Please pause the video at any time if necessary.

Step 2 - Practice Video - Extensive output is essential for your fluency.
  1. Watch a practice video when you remember the new expressions from the introduction video.
  2. Take your time in order to create a sentence by yourself before listening to the answers. Please pause the video at any time  if necessary.
  3. Check your expressions by listening to the answer followed by your speech.
  4. Repeat after the answer sentences that you found difficult to output until you can speak smoothly.

Step 3 - Homework Video - Speak out more freely.
  1. Watch homework video when you can say the sentences in practice video.
  2. You will make sentences in more personalised situations.
  3. Listen to the questions or tasks first. Answer these straight away if you can. If you don't know certain words that are more related to your personal interest, please check the words and try again.
  4. Check the answers. However, more personalised tasks only have example answers. If you would like, you can check with your Japanese friend and a teacher.
  5. Say these corrected personalised expressions regularly before you move on to the next lesson.
