![]() ![]() The first time I went to Japan, I was in Hiroshima at an extremely casual okonomiyaki stand. The mix of ultra polite, polite and casual language instruction. ![]() The best part is, unlike Genki, you can print out as many as you want and can even create your own. Those practice sheets! I've got a stack of campus brand notebooks ordered for my character practice, but the character and stroke order written out for you to practice is incredibly helpful. There's no unlocking necessary, and it doesn't force you to read lessons you don't want to. If you already know a lesson, you can feel free to skip around. Do you know how irritating it is to pay for something and then you don't have access to half of the features you've paid for unless you go in order? Well, Nihongo Master DOESN'T do that, so that's a huge benefit. I think that if you're going to choose a program for your entire journey and are looking for a place to start, this site makes for a robust stand-alone system. The lessons are quick, and build upon one another and use illustrations to make it a bit more fun. The introductory lessons are great and approachable for those just starting their language journey. Nihongo Master also has a robust community feature - the ability to form study groups and participate in community discussions (everything from anime to JLPT study groups). During my trial, I preferred to take the quizzes and the drills on my tablet - because of the double clicking* scenario I run into on my laptop. The mobile versionĬompatible with your on-the-go devices, the mobile version is a pared down and simplified form of the website. If you're feeling lazy, you can also poach lists from community members. You can create you own lists from words you find in their online dictionary. You can earn badges for a variety of things, from participating in the community to reading lessons. You'll score points with drills and quizzes - some points you'll keep forever, but others will expire if you don't continue with your studies. Correct questions lit up in green and incorrect in red. If you're a metrics person, you can even break it down into a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or even specific dates chart to see your progress. Miss one and it's on the schedule sooner. If you answer one correctly, it gets scheduled again further out. They compile into what you've already unlocked and add them to your schedule. ![]() Once unlocked they add to your daily list of drills. The beginner section has all the grammar and vocabulary for the JPLT N5 exam and advanced is structured around covering the JLPT N4. Their content is structured to aline with the Japan's national language proficiency test the JLPT. Nihongo Master also adds new content and lessons all the time. With 75 lessons, it ends in a final quiz to see what you've mastered. Think of it more as: it's getting harder, and we're going to build on what you already know. Advanced:Īdmittedly it feels strange to jump from "beginner to advanced", but the evolution is natural. The beginner course covers many items like counting, purchases, likes and dislikes, particles and, of course, kanji. Beginner:īeginner has the most content, with over 150 lessons (though according to the site they do add new content all of the time). If you're looking to learn with any seriousness and want to use this platform, you'll need to access the higher levels with the subscription costs. This level is most certainly for basic communication.Īll other levels are accessible only with a subscription. This is helpful for anyone traveling to Japan that may want to pick up a few basic phrases and be able to identify some characters written on signs. You'll cover the hiragana and katakana, some basic vocab and phrases through 41 lessons and some drills to help you lock that knowledge down. ![]() This is the necessary nuts and bolts of Japanese learning. ![]()
