Learn Japanese the way you learned your first language — by listening and speaking, not by drilling grammar or memorising characters. Three levels, ninety half-hour lessons. Each opens with a conversation, introduces new words and structures, and brings back everything you have already met at the moment you are about to forget it. You speak out loud from the first minute. What the three levels cover Level 1 — greetings, introductions, asking for what you need, directions and meals Level 2 — shopping, travel, making arrangements and talking about your day Level 3 — longer conversations, opinions, work and getting things done Reading booklets — included with each level as reference material How the course works Five lessons a week, one a day, in order. Don't repeat a lesson more than once — the sequencing is what makes the vocabulary stick. Who it's for Complete beginners through to intermediate. This is spoken Japanese; the reading booklets are supporting reference rather than a writing course.
