“I love Olly’s work - and you will too!” - Barbara Oakley, PhD, Author of New York Times bestseller A Mind for Numbers

Have you ever tried to speak Japanese with a native only to realise it’s not as easy as it seems in the classroom? Native Japanese speakers don’t talk like your textbook, and neither should you. This story, told entirely in conversation form, will teach you authentic Japanese expressions, accents, abbreviations, idioms, and everything you’ll need to improve your spoken Japanese and start sounding like a native.

With 30-Day Mastery: Spoken Japanese Made Simple you'll learn through example and context, just like native speakers do! The magic of learning through story is that your main focus is actually not on memorising anything… you concentrate on understanding and enjoying the story! As you're reading the story, you will find that your brain develops a natural, instinctive understanding of spoken Japanese. It doesn't happen right away - in fact it may take a couple of weeks for you to feel the real effects. But by the end of this book, you'll have a native-like command of spoken Japanese that will amaze you and your friends!
