Best Way to Learn Japanese

Are you eager to dive into the world of Japanese language and culture for yourself or a child but don’t know the best way to start? Before you start learning Japanese, discover the key tips and tricks that can make your journey smoother and more enjoyable.

Our family has tried and tested so many language tools and apps so we are excited to share our favorites with you and your kids!

The first thing I challenge you to evaluate is what is your goal in learning? Do you want to speak/understand, speak and read, or the ultimate fluency of speak, read, AND write? What you want out of your learning will help you determine what the right tools are and measure your improvement!

Check out the video below for all the info:

Here are the tools/apps I mentioned so you can easily find them:

Duolingo app - great for grammar and vocabulary learning

Ehon Navi app - great for Japanese picture books, kid books, and audiobooks - I especially love using this with my kids!

Note: this is in Japanese only!

Wani Kani- great for kanji and vocabulary learning
