I've been bouncing between a lot of different material and resources,

trying to get a solid foundation in Japanese. I felt this course really

helped a lot with that. Thanks

The goal of this course is to teach you Hiragana and Katakana the RIGHT way. The way it's taught in Japanese schools.

This course is good for anyone interested in taking their Japanese to the next level. A lot of textbooks don't give exact instructions on how to write these characters. They just show you the character and expect you to figure out everything on your own.

The purpose of this course is to take different approach - to really walk you through all the characters while holding your hand (not in a weird way! :D )

Riko-chan - our native speaker - has been overseeing the entire course so all of the content is genuine. She also prepared practice sheets which you can use to improve your handwriting.

The entire course is basically a video course. Plus you're getting the mentioned practice sheets in JPG format which you can print out.

In Module 1 we'll teach you Hiragana.

In Module 2 we'll move onto Katakana, and we'll show you how to write your name in Japanese.

In Bonus Module we'll teach you 22 Kanji characters (numbers 1-10, and the 12 Animals of the Japanese Zodiac).

Throughout the course we'll teach you well over 300 words.

Flashcards to help you practice reading the characters are available for downloading as well.

Anyone aiming to write correctly, be able to read manga (world-wide popular Japanese comic books), children's books and eventually novels and newspapers will benefit greatly from this course.

"Great course, very well spaced and taught."

- Adam Shaikh

"I like Japanese girls, and culture. I plan to go to Japan soon, I've taken many other course and by far this one is the best and even one of the instructors is very cute!"

- Jeff Hastings

"Great course! It's a complete set so you don't need to buy anything extra, like a book or something. Clear explanations and a native speaker to let you hear how to pronounce the words/kanjis. The teachers handwriting could be a bit better, i had to look twice sometimes to tell what he wrote (or maybe that's just me), and i missed or would have like a summary at the end of each lesson of which kanjis we learned. Great thing in the course is also clearly describing the difference between characters which look similar to each other. Overall an excellent course, which taught me a lot and i would highly recommend this to everyone i know!"
