Master the most basic of the Japanese Writing System in 14 days

I really enjoy that the teacher is a native speaker who has taught others before. The pacing is really well done as far as I'm concerned. I found it really interesting how he went over how you should relax your mouth or open wider for certain sounds.

Thank you so much for this course! I appreciate the homework showing stroke order. Very easy to understand.

Since I already know a bit of Japanese, this turned out to be the perfect refresher for me! I even picked up some new things along the way, which was a nice bonus.

Good pace. Lessons well sequenced. I am able to write and read hiragana in 2 weeks, and follow up with learning vocab using Duolingo. It’s good to hear from a native speaker’s perspective how Japanese is learnt. Hiragana teaching on Duolingo is more haphazard.

nteresting to watch very clear strokes for copying how to write the hiragana and clear explanation of everything

Everything is well explained and its easy to follow along. Its all step by step which personally makes it easier to learn.

This course gave me exactly what I needed to know about the Japanese language. I now have a good foundation to continue in my Japanese language classes. Thank you.

I have tried to learn Japanese with Android apps (free and paid) and books I've purchased and I just feel so lost and as if I'm drowning in an endless see of characters I don't understand. I just finished the first video where Tyson teaches actual Hiragana characters. I really enjoy this course over trying to learn these on my own with free (and paid) Android apps. 1. Tyson is a native speaker, so I do feel as though I am getting insight I could not get otherwise, I also do not have to worry about mispronunciations from a non-native speaker having a slight accent in their Japanese. 2. Tyson gives tips on writing the characters I have not seen elsewhere. None of the apps or books I have mentioned imagining the two lines on the I character connect! It's a very useful tip! And this is the first video... 3. Each lesson has full words you can write with the characters you've learned. It lets me feel like I'm applying what I've learned in some way other than just a few characters. 4. There are some nice PDFs you can download from this course. I've downloaded them and put them on my iPad to easily practice the writing, however, if you're looking to print them I would look for other assets online, as these are rather large and don't have as much space for writing each character. You get six boxes - 8 per character. There are tons of free pdf assets online, so I wouldn't make this a deciding factor on purchasing this course or not. I definitely recommend getting it.

Tyson's English is very good so I'm able to advance with my learning efficiently! I'm Just starting to learn Japanese and I'm feeling very motivated with this course so far!

I'm loving the teaching style and content! Tyson is the best teacher!!
