Reviews
"I recently completed an online Japanese course and I must say, it’s incredibly easy to understand. The instructor has a unique way of making the course very useful for daily life. She explains concepts in a simple and clear manner using English, which is extremely helpful. This course is particularly beneficial for those looking to grasp the structure of the Japanese language. The sensei thoroughly explains each word, its uses, and particularly focuses on the use of particles and different forms of verbs or nouns. Learning these elements of Japanese has been immensely useful for practical communication. I highly recommend this course to anyone eager to learn Japanese effectively."
"I like that I also have to not only learn but also think about the grammar points in order to translate the example sentences. " Harrison
