japanese lessons

Hi my name is Jim,

I made this page to tell you about how I learned to speak Japanese in only 3 months, with out any hassle. I’m not exactly a linguistics professional but learning Japanese was actually easy and most importantly allowed me to go on my vacation this summer.

This Is Where I Stayed On My Japan Vacation

Now that I’ve learned Japanese without attending any real classes, all my friends and relatives are asking me how I did it. I figured it would be a lot easier to share my story on this page and show everyone how I learned Japanese fast in only 3 months. Learn how I did it.

Just a few months ago, I was looking around at places to go this summer on vacation when I stumbled upon a sweet deal on flying to Japan. The price was right and I was so excited, but then I realized that I don’t even know the language.

My buddy that had already taken a trip to Japan told me that hardly anyone speaks English and I needed to learn Japanese fast if I wanted any chance of making conversation. I was a little nervous, but only collecting my thoughts I knew there had to be a way to quickly learn Japanese before I left to go on my trip.

My initial thought was to take Japanese language lessons at a local community college, so I signed up and started attending night classes. A few weeks went by and I still didn’t know hardly anything about the language. The teacher kept going on and on about the basics instead of just teaching us the proper vocabulary (she kept trying to reinvent the wheel…).

I Used This Course To Learn Japanese Fast

I’m usually a quick learner and this Japanese language school was just not helping me at all. After a whole month of going to the class, I still couldn’t even say basic phrases. I was NOT happy at all, but what were my alternatives? Personal Japanese teachers were way too expensive for my budget, and these night classes were simply not working out.

I started to do a little research online and apparently there are hundreds of people in my exact same situation. So I thought… maybe I could somehow take Japanese grammar lessons without having to learn a whole language over again, at least then I could still go on my vacation this summer. So I surfed around the Internet and found tons of people selling all kinds of Japanese language lessons.

Long story short, I ended up wasting money on a few different online Japanese language lessons courses, until I found this really cool course called “Rocket Japanese”. Not only would it teach my all the words I needed to know on my trip, but it also offered an on going training program so I could learn more and more each month (even after my vacation is over).

After I gave in and purchased “Rocket Japanese”, everything else was easy. I just sat back and watched a few videos, and before I knew it I was speaking Japanese like a professional. I called my buddy up and told him how easy it was to learn Japanese using this course and apparently it worked for him too. I truly believe that I would still be stuck at Japanese language school if I didn’t find this online course. That’s why I wrote this page.

There site will explain it a lot better than I could, so I’m not even going to bother trying.

I hope this helps you! (it sure helped me)

P.S. My trip to Japan was SO MUCH FUN! If you’re considering a vacation spot this summer I highly recommend taking a trip to Tokyo!

Where can i find a site that will allow me to download free japanese speaking lessons for my mp3?

I really want to learn japanese, and since I can’t spead all day on the computer learning japanese phrases etc, I really want to download from free lessons onto my mp3 so i can listen to them when i want to

I too think Japanese Pod 101 is a good place to start. You can get free downloads via iTunes, but there is a limited selection. If you do go to there home page though, you can sign up and gain access to much more stuff.

You can also search iTunes for other stuff besides Japanese Pop 101. There’s quite a bit.

However, if you rely only on mp3s then all of your learning will be passive. Basically, you will be stuck in a listen and repeat mode which might become boring after a while.

So, you might try seeing in their are any free of relatively cheap Japanese language classes being offered near you. This will at least allow you to interact with other people.

One other idea is to try to see if you can find a language exchange partner. If you search the WWW you probably will find a few sites on this. Even if you can’t meet face to face, may you can do it via online chat or something.
