I spent the afternoon looking at Japanese lessons on Youtube. I come across a “GURU”, Takanori Tomita. Takanori is a professional Japanese translator, and operates a education company in Japan.

On Youtube, he is the 11th most subscribed Guru in Japan. Not bad!  He’s lessons also get excellent ratings.Takanori is well known in Japan, as he is featured in Japanese magazines, radio, Internet, and TV. His passion is to spread the Japanese culture to all over the world. He is also a respected and successful Japanese teacher in Japan and Online.

Takanori knows what it’s like to learn a second language. When he was fourteen years old, he went to Australia, and I had to learn English from scratch. His philosophy on learning Japanese is this;

“You need to listen to and speak lots of Japanese words and phrases from native Japanese speakers, to really power-up your Japanese learning and fluency.”

I agree. Avoid the text books and grammar and learn real Japanese from real people. Taka has a great method for learning Japanese. The focus of the product is learning Japanese for real communication. A ” street-level” learning style that helps non-natives achieve real communication quickly!

NIHONGO Japanese lesson will teach you how to speak Japanese naturally in the easiest way possible, because the program focuses on teaching many well known words and phrases to guide your learning right from the start!

The lessons don’t drag on, but instead are bite-sized, broken down into smaller parts that are easier to digest, so you can practice each part individually and then put it all together — multiplying your effectiveness.

Each lesson is intended to be completed in 2 to 3 hours. As you work through each lesson, certain aspects of the grammar will start to soak in, which means… in a very short time… you’ll be communicating in Japanese without thinking about it.

Go checkout Taka’s site and sign up for his 7-day course.
