Description
Start your Japanese journey with a proven, step-by-step system. This course has consistently earned more than 4.5 stars since its publication in 2018. Designed for total beginners with little to no character-reading skills, it takes you far beyond just memorizing phrases or isolated vocabulary and provides you with creative communication skills.
Created by Mikiko Iwasaki, a Japanese language instructor with over 35 years of experience in Japan and abroad, MISJ (Mikiko Iwasaki’s Systematic Japanese) is an effective, efficient, and enjoyable method for learning Japanese. By actively participating in and following the lessons, you will develop speaking skills sufficient for everyday life or travel in Japan. With extra practice, you can also build creative writing skills – the ability to express your own ideas beyond textbook examples.
Each lesson includes a complete package of review materials—review book, reading materials (from Lesson 3), and audio files—so you can reinforce grammar, vocabulary, and cultural understanding at your own pace. This course covers essential grammar and conversation to prepare you for further study or the JLPT N5. When you are ready, you can smoothly continue with the next-step MISJ courses.
Who this course is for:
- MISJ WELCOME PROGRAM is the most suitable for those who want to make a good start of learning Japanese without wasting time, effort, and money. The results are guaranteed if you obediently follow instructions.
- It suits anybody who wants creative speech and writing ability that reflects intelligence.
- It suits those who plan to take JLPT in the future. It does not cover everything but is ideal for making a solid foundation quickly.
- It suits everyone because the learning process is enjoyable. But if you are good at scientific subjects, outstanding results are guaranteed.
- It suits those who have already studied Japanese and gave up learning or need better and more precise explanations about Japanese grammar, especially PARTICLE and ADJECTIVE usages and VERB conjugations.
