WHAT OUR STUDENT SAYS

Pao

Product: [Speak Like a Native] Real Japanese for Everyday Conversations

"The course is great it's straight to the point. The nuances are clearly explained which is very important and very helpful because they don't really explain those in textbooks."

Poppy

Product: [Japanese 101] Master Grammar & Conversation Basics

"I'm in the midst of the course and it supplements other Japanese material that I am using to learn right now. I love that I can rewind, fast-forward and play the videos according to my learning pace. The PDF slides are handy and helpful in connecting speech to text. Highly recommended :)"

Tsai

[Speak Like a Native] Real Japanese for Everyday Conversations

"This course is suitable for students who have completed an introductory level course. It will teach you why and when to use different levels of polite language (敬語). Even if you’re not particularly interested in learning highly native colloquial expressions, by the end of the course, you’ll understand why Japanese people use them and what they mean."

"This course not only helped me learn how to speak like a native, but also clarified my misconceptions."

By Alex

"Very clear and practical. I can use what I learned in this course right away in the real conversations"

By Lawrence
