Description

Learn to understand Japanese - called Nihongo in the native language - like a native speaker! For this, you only need very short lessons with me, because I approach it differently than any courses you know: I show you the true logic of the language from the perspective of the Japanese, not the elaborate, Western-adapted explanations you find everywhere else.Here you get the only Japanese course you'll ever need! Because I explain everything to you, starting with the writing system and going up to reading complex sentences.Learn with your hobbies! And you won't bury yourself in dull teaching materials. Instead, you'll learn with books, series, anime, manga, and more. Upon completion, you are at a level where you can read and watch them to continue learning. At first you will still need the help of a dictionary, but over time you become more and more efficient. This is an important step in learning. Most people take a course and always fail at the step of actually applying the language, causing them to forget everything and thus waste their time and money.Conventional teaching doesn't take you seriously! That's because Japanese teaching in the West is not good! As one teacher explained to me, they rely on simplified to completely wrong explanations because they fear learners will leave after a week if confronted with real Japanese. His summarizing statement:"This is, of course, frustrating for the one or two people in a community college course who really want to dig in."And it has tradition: The best Kanji learning method was developed by Heisig, whose university professors also assumed that most learners would learn a few hundred Kanji and then quit. However, this is not a story of the past. Because Heisig is our contemporary fellow and currently lives in Japan.And since even AIs in their explanations only fall back on traditional methods, even they can't give you the knowledge from my course.What do I do differently? Ever since I saw Cure Dollys videos I have been dissatisfied with the state of Japanese teaching methods in the west. Especially after I noticed, that her explanations aren't even unique, but simply not very well known. There are more linguistically oriented books which described the grammar like this years before Cure Dolly appeared, but they aren't used for teaching the language.So I decided to make this information more accessible by creating a course without Dollys infamous and for many people off-putting robot-voice, expand on it and also correct her mistakes. It doesn't explain the language to you the way traditional teaching methods do. Because they use exception rules to justify incorrect grammar. Instead, it is based on the information that is also written in grammars for the Japanese language for native speakers. This reveals the actual logic behind the language to you, allowing you to understand it much faster.Save time, learn more! The logic I show you here is much simpler than traditional teaching. Since I don't have to spend time explaining hundreds of exception rules, my course is also shorter. Therefore, it is not only an easy way for beginners to learn the language, but also worthwhile for advanced learners and experts who have not yet fully internalized some concepts of the language.What you achieve with me: Upon completion of the course, you will have extensive knowledge of the grammar of the Japanese language and can start consuming media in the language to continue learning through immersion and develop a real sense of language. When you continue doing this, you will reach the level of a native.
