Japanese Basics in 90 Minutes
Japanese has a reputation for difficulty, but the spoken language's phonetics are actually quite regular and manageable for beginners. These plans introduce hiragana (the foundational script), basic sentence structure, and essential vocabulary for greetings, numbers, and common situations. You'll understand how Japanese politeness levels work and have a working framework for the language's logic. For those interested in Japanese culture, anime, travel, or business, this foundation is the starting point for everything else.
