Japanese Language

Learn Conversational Japanese Vol. 1 is an audio course for beginners or for anyone who struggles with becoming fluent in Japanese. The focus of this course is to practice speaking conversational Japanese from the very first lesson. Each lesson contains useful everyday phrases related to a specific topic. Based on techniques and strategies that make language learners succeed: Learn in short bursts every day, learn in context, focus on high-frequency words, review the material, and listen to native speakers.

Did you know, according to a famous study - learning the top 1,000 most frequently used words will enable you to understand up to 87.8% of all oral speech? Quite incredible right? The problem is most students focus on learning the wrong vocabulary. The idea of reading dictionaries to increase vocabulary is the old way of learning. It’s boring, not arranged into topics, plus there’s pages and pages of words you’ll hardly ever use.

Most Japanese students try to learn Japanese through memorization, especially when it comes to learning new vocabulary or the all-important conversational connectors (and, or, however, therefore, for example, etc.). This doesn't work, and is extremely stressful for you as a learner. Why? Because there is so much vocabulary to learn and it's impossible to hold it all in your head while you're speaking. It's also not a natural approach.... Native speakers don't learn new words with memory tricks, after all!
