Introduction
Hello everyone. I'm Lady JJ. Nice to meet you! Welcome to Japanese Study Course. I will be in charge of the Japanese course, so please call me "JJ". Come on, let's start the Japanese course together!
Today, it is no exaggeration to say that English is truly the common language of the world, and many people around the world understand it. We have created and introduced English versions of some short historical essay contents, but as a new project, we decided to create and provide original English content, that is "Japanese Study Course in English."
Nice to meet you! I'm Rabbit boy. Call me "Rabbit." I will join this course!
Welcome, Rabbit! I do my best to provide more effective and efficient study methods and contents that will help you improve your skills in a short period of time.
By the way, currently, many teaching materials for foreigners to advance their Japanese learning have been announced, however, there are too many teaching materials that simply teach Japanese grammar in Japanese. I feel that there are almost no materials that explain from a foreigner's point of view.
We decided to offer a study course that explains Japanese grammar in English in an easy-to-understand manner. These courses are free and open to the public.
Wow! Free is great! I can study without any worries.
Why don't you take this opportunity to study Japanese? If you study this course, you will acquire knowledge of Japanese grammar in a short period of time. The best feature of the course is that it is designed so that you can naturally acquire knowledge by lying down at home and reading the content while looking at your mobile phone or tablet. You don't have to concentrate and study at your desk. Please try it.
Let's study with me. Come on, it's a competition to see who can improve faster!
For your reference, here is a list of katakana. This table is called the Hepburn Romanization, and is the most popular format used by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs for issuing Japanese passports.
We have good news for you!
In Ryusho Kanbe's room, we have just introduced the text-to-speech software "Ondoku-san". Please make full use of the Japanese audio and further improve your Japanese language skills.
