If you want to learn the Japanese language (or "Nihongo" as it's called in Japanese) online, you've come to the right place! Our lessons can get you well on your way to learning how to speak, read, and write Nihongo - the Japanese language. On this site you will find such things as the Japanese alphabet (including Hiragana and Katakana) as well as Kanji, Japanese vocabulary, Japanese grammar, Japanese sentence structure, and common Japanese phrases. What sets us apart from other "learn how to speak Japanese" courses is that we teach you how to conjugate Japanese verbs and how to build your own Japanese sentences - things critical to becoming fluent in the Japanese language.

The Japanese language is actually very simple but so unlike English that many English speakers find it difficult to learn Japanese. The goal of this 10 free Japanese lesson course is to help you study the basics of the Japanese language and to teach you how to learn Japanese in a way that is, hopefully, fast and easy to understand. These public lessons start with basic Japanese and more intermediate and advanced level Japanese lessons can be found in our Members Area.

IMPORTANT: While learning how to speak the Japanese language, do not rely too heavily on Romanized Japanese or romaji (Japanese written in English letters). It is not used in Japan nor is it widely known in Japan. It is very important to learn Kana (the Japanese alphabets - Hiragana and Katakana) to avoid many issues that can come from using romaji as a crutch.
