A free Japanese course

Learn Japanese by listening, one short conversation a day.

Understanding comes from exposure. Each day brings a short, natural conversation from everyday life in Japan, with an English translation, from your first words to fluent speech.

The first lessons are on their way. The course is being written now, starting with the very first Newbie (A1) days. In the meantime, the How to Use page explains how the lessons work and how to get the most from them.

Why listening first

Inspired by input-based methods like Antimoon, AJATT and the ALG method: no grammar drills, no speaking before you're ready. You understand more each day, and speaking follows.
