Learn Japanese Anywhere
BY BUILDING A PERSONALIZED IMMERSION ENVIRONMENT USING FUN CONTENT YOU LOVE
(And without the hassle of moving to Japan, enduring expensive classes, or slogging through boring textbooks.)
If you’re learning Japanese on your own and you’re looking to reach fluency and speak confidently with real native speakers, then you probably already know that immersion (being surrounded by the language all the time) is the best way to do that.
You probably already know that practicing speaking with real native speakers is the key to getting better at speaking.
But here’s what you might not know.
You don’t need a plane ticket, new zip code, or classroom to immerse yourself in Japanese. With the right methods, materials, and attitude, you can reach a high level of fluency anywhere in the world.
Master Japanese shows you how to create an immersion environment almost as good as being in Tokyo, even if you’re in Tacoma or Topeka.
FEELING STUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY TO JAPANESE FLUENCY?
You are not alone.
Most Japanese learners spend years “studying” the language but never reach fluency.
Why?
Here are the six most common causes.
Sound familiar?
- Putting off speaking too long: Most people don’t practice speaking enough due to fear of making mistakes. They busy themselves instead with memorizing vocabulary, tapping away in language apps, or watching YouTube videos. These activities can help, but they won’t teach you to actually speak Japanese.
- Not having a strong enough “why”: The path to fluency isn’t necessarily complicated, but it DOES takes consistent practice, day after day. You need to get crystal-clear clarity on your reason for learning Japanese, the “WHY” that keeps you going on the days where you feel bored or unmotivated.
- Not enough time on task: To reach fluency, you need thousands of hours of input (listening, reading) and output (writing, speaking). That might sound impossible in your busy schedule, but there are many ways to squeeze in time each day through “habit stacking” and using “hidden moments” throughout your day.
- Not practicing skills directly: Practicing “directly” means practicing the skill you want to be able to do. Most people get stuck studying ABOUT the language rather than actually practicing IN the language itself. Many apps or classes focus on indirect skills that don’t build fluency and won’t help you in actual human-to-human communication.
- Using boring materials: Fun gets done, so you need to select methods that YOU will enjoy. It’s natural for language learners to sometimes feel bored and not want to keep going. This is why it’s extra important to use materials that are fun to use and fit your unique interests and goals.
- Getting stuck in “analysis paralysis”: On the other hand, many language learners feel overwhelmed when considering all the materials they could use, and as a consequence, they never actually get started. Finding just a handful of tools you love to use, and sticking with those consistently, is the antidote. Less but better.
Immersion is the key to getting unstuck and finally reaching fluency
If you can avoid the above mistakes and put in the required time and effort, you will reach fluency in Japanese.
The key to all of this is creating a fun, immersive environment―from home―that will actually get you to fluency.
How my “Anywhere Immersion” method will get you fluent in Japanese without classes or moving to Japan
Once upon a time, you had to two choices if you wanted to get fluent in Japanese:
- Option 1: Take expensive Japanese classes.
- Option 2: Move to Japan.
Today, anyone with an internet connection and a little creativity can learn Japanese anywhere in the world. While Japanese classes and living abroad can be great, they no longer have to be a barrier to entry for Japanese learners.
Master Japanese shows you how to create what I call an “Anywhere Immersion” environment that brings Japan to you right where you are.
Not only can you learn from the comfort of home, but this approach has many advantages over traditional classroom and textbook-based learning
Here’s How I can Help You Get Fluent
Hi, I’m John Fotheringham, a linguist, teacher, and the author of Master Japanese.
Like most Japanese learners, I really struggled to learn Japanese through formal classes. But once I realized that I could learn faster and have more fun by creating my own immersion environment, my progress took off.
I now teach others how to learn through the same immersion-based approach, no matter where in the world you are.
I’ve been learning and teaching languages for over two decades, including studying Linguistics at Western Washington University, teaching adults in the U.S., Japan, and Taiwan, presenting at multinational companies, working as a translator and interpreter for the Japanese government, and now blogging, podcasting, and publishing books on independent language learning.
I have dedicated my life to empowering language learners, making language acquisition more fun and effective, and helping others avoid some of the mistakes I made along the way.
