Study Japanese with free Japanese lessons

Online Japanese lessons or offline Japanese classes?

Let’s face it: learning Japanese is mostly about perseverance, about committing to improving your language skills one day at a time. It all comes down to the amount of work you put into studying Japanese and your willingness to stick to it even when it seems too much to handle.

• People can be easily distracted, making it difficult to stick to something for a long period of time.
• One solution is enrolling in a language school and attending Japanese classes.
• However, offline Japanese classes can be expensive and time-consuming.

A second solution is a cultural immersion: going to a Japanese-speaking country to live the real Japanese dream. No doubt about it, this is the ideal way to learn any language because you get to speak with natives, learn their correct pronunciation and live the way they do. Unfortunately, moving to a different country is something most of us cannot afford.
Don’t let this demoralize you! The good news is you can now immerse yourself in a different culture from the comfort of your own home. How? By enrolling in some of the best online Japanese courses in the world.

Will knowing Japanese help you learn any other languages? We’re glad you asked. Even though there are a lot of differences between the languages spoken in East Asia, there are also important similarities. Languages like Vietnamese, Korean or Chinese Mandarin have greatly influenced Japanese over hundreds of years. For example, both the Korean and the Japanese languages use the Chinese Han characters called Hanja in South Korea and Kanji in Japan.
The Kanji characters are basically adopted Han characters that are thought to have originated in the Shang dynasty about 3000 years ago, from pictographs used to represent objects. Over the years, these characters have been adapted and used together with Japanese syllabic scripts like hiragana and katakana.
