Description

Are you planning to travel to Japan but are worried about the language barrier? Then this is the course for you!

In this course, you will learn useful phrases for the airport, hotel, ordering at a restaurant, asking directions and more!

Each section consists of the 4 main parts below:

  • Key vocabulary that will help you during your travels

  • Phrases specific to the topic of each section

  • Many phrases will have an example conversation between a native and non-native Japanese speaker so you can see how that phrase might be used in a real world situation

  • A quiz after each lecture so you can test yourself on what you learned

As a bonus we have included PDF's that you can print and bring with you on your trip as well as audio files if you want to practice on your own!

Your instructors are Ashley and Yuki. Ashley has studied Japanese and Japanese culture for a total of 10 years. She lived in Japan for 3 years with her husband Yuki who is a native Japanese speaker from Japan.

Ashley handles the English explanations while Yuki will be pronouncing most of the Japanese vocabulary and phrases so you can hear exactly how a native Japanese speaker would pronounce them!

We will be available to answer questions you may have as you go through the course. Please leave your questions in the course Q&A and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
