Given Japan seems to be the hot desto for all Aussies at the moment, and given I too will be joining that stat in February, I saw this deal over on HUKD and figured it could be of some use to us all!

I know alternative options like DuoLingo or Rosetta Stone are always free, but still.

You will learn how to effectively study, and become a successful self-study learner for life. All of the prep work is done for you. Each daily lesson contains easy to understand grammar explanations as well as ten vocabulary words chosen from the most common 1000, each with their own example sentence.

      that's more than 90 days ago, you must be fluent now.

      Nihongo something something.

    There are 5 books in this series (first 4 are free, 5th is $4.99). Duly added to the growing virtual pile of free downloaded ebooks that will no doubt be read assiduously one of these days…

    Having just come back from Japan, was amazed at how little English they know. Most Japanese people thought we were American, including a taxi driver who we gave a hint that we have Kangaroos in our country :-)

      this comes across as somewhat entitled you know

          this comes across as incorrect fyi

        Most countries in the world have huge infrastructure for English-speaking tourists and a relatively high degree of ESL. It is amazing to go to a country like China or Japan where they don’t have that.

          Both Japan and China (mostly) have all street signs in English, train stations in english, train announcements in english. Major tourist attractions have all signs in english.

          Its harder to get around France than Japan

          Wait till you find out about domestic tourism figures …
          Vietnam 80m Domestic vs 15m foreign tourists
          Japan 270m vs 33 foreign

          cant be f looking at others but some countries only interested in foreign tourism to diversify their tourism portfolio. If anything they should probably stay focused on China's market as its the largest population in the area… aka English is very much optional unless you are targeting specifically European and American markets.

          • CommuterPolluter on 25/11/2024 - 17:22

            @figlia: That ratio for Vietnam is a surprise to me, although definitely going to places like Sunworld Ba Na Hills it is majority Vietnamese. But also to be expected. We go to Vietnam because it’s cheap, Vietnamese can’t say the same about Australia.

            In my experience, outside of the relatively cosmopolitan ‘T1 cities’ of China, there is much less English proficiency among members of the general public compared to other non-Anglo countries. It’s not a complaint just an observation. It’s unfortunate Australia can’t leave the Anglosphere - LOL.

      Japanese are by nature, generally quite shy and not being able to speak a language well can be embarrassing to try, so many choose not to, even if they know a little. Technology makes things incredibly easy. I can't imagine having traveled there pre google translate et el.

      I would say the opposite from when I went. I felt like most store workers/hotel workers could speak English (well enough to do the transaction etc)

    Let me know in 90 days if you become fluent. I've seen a few books in the style and I just wonder what magic they weave

    90 days to learn one of the most difficult languages out there, yeah righto lmfao.

  • SYLTB on 25/11/2024 - 08:49

    Making a friendship/affair/love affair with a Japanese would be easier than that.

    • dlovep on 25/11/2024 - 10:06

      yeah…just paid a bit more for 90 mins… XD

      Can confirm it's not easier. I'm 14 years in. Not fluent yet.

    My partner is Japanese and every time I do online lessons or a short course by the end she's like "Yeah that's great, but we don't really speak like that with each other"

    Lessons are often too formal and the Japanese abbreviate a lot of stuff.

    • dlovep on 25/11/2024 - 10:08

      The author is from a different background than native speaker, like some old saying, if you want to learn a different language get a partner from there, you'll learn 100 times quicker than reading books.

      • shodan on 25/11/2024 - 10:26

        the author also writes with a particular english accent in mind:
        "There are 5 basic vowel sounds: a-i-u-e-o. A sounds like the o in hot…"

        • mecusherb on 25/11/2024 - 10:41

          Phonetically

          Ah Eeh Ooh Eh Oh

            @mecusherb: Yes, Im just quoting whats in the book. For me, the 'o' in 'hot' is more like japanese 'o'

      I mean, that's pretty much any language course. You have to learn the rules before you can learn how to break them.

        Too much Kanji…😵‍💫

        • wittyusername on 29/11/2024 - 08:59

          I've just learnt Hiragana and Katakana (almost) and Kanji is (profanity) daunting.

  • mkowarkski on 25/11/2024 - 10:52

    I will never use this, but got it, because it is free :)

    I've been to Japan many times. Prior to my very first visit, I learned Japanese at a TAFE. However, once I arrived in Japan whenever I tried speaking Japanese, the people I was speaking with said they were learning English and wanted to speak in English to better their skills, so I hardly had a chance to use my new skill.

  • bheart on 25/11/2024 - 11:23

    Thanks OP

  • MrLeE on 25/11/2024 - 11:32

    If I dont own a kindle, can I still get it? I'm having trouble getting it

    • LiteDough on 25/11/2024 - 13:02

      Are you having trouble buying it or reading it?

      You should be able to read it off the kindle app on your phone.

    N4 is most definitely not 'conversational fluency', let alone N5.

  • KRiSX on 25/11/2024 - 13:25

    have been doing duolingo for 125 days and can still only do pretty basic stuff, tempted to see if this would pan out any different

    • wittyusername on 29/11/2024 - 09:00

      On the learnjapanese subreddit many of them recommend against duolingo as they think it doesn't help much, if you're looking to swap up your study check them out for resources.

  • KARMAAA on 25/11/2024 - 13:54

    You have a better chance of learning everyday Japanese by watching anime and translating the words you're interested in to learn them.

  • nobro25 on 25/11/2024 - 14:32

    I watched FX's Shogun and now I'm an native imperial Japanese speaker.
