What sets our 'Travelers Japanese' apart from other beginner-level programs?

Our focus is on imparting skills crucial for travelers in Japan. We understand the urgency of acquiring practical language skills tailored specifically for travel, and unlike other beginner courses that dedicate extensive time to the multiple alphabets of the Japanese language or irrelevant vocabulary, we streamline our curriculum to deliver immediate value. Each lesson is specifically structured to maximize the progression of essential listening and speaking skills, offering 10 indispensable vocabulary words, 1 essential Kanji character, and 2 practical travel phrases per lesson, all presented with phonetic English spelling with deliberate separation of each spoken syllable to ensure not only clear pronunciation but also minimize miscommunications. Coupled with only the most essential grammar rules, by the end of this 6 week course, students will be able to construct simple yet effective sentences spontaneously in any situation.
