BUT these aren’t important when first starting to learn Japanese. Japanese isn’t easy… but with us: it’s super fun! Just trust us. The awesome thing about Japanese speaking culture is that the locals use a lot of sounds in conversation. You can use these sounds to react to what people say and communicate! Here are some of our favourites: Japanese is a language isolate, meaning it has no clear linguistic connections with any other languages. As a result, there are no clear advantages or disadvantages for English speakers or French speakers or German speakers (you name it) that try to learn Japanese. So just give it a go and have fun with it! Asking ‘how long to learn Japanese?’ is asking an impossible question. Everyone’s different lives, time, and motivations make their language learning journeys different. The good news is: whether you’ve got a free month, free evening, or even just 5 minutes… especially just 5 minutes… you have time to learn! Woo! Try to repeat language lessons little and often, (apps like us are good *actually really great* for this), and reap the rewards. Walking to work? Making lunch? Before bed? Just a handful of minutes can be the difference between remembering and forgetting. Yep. Ideally you’d be fluent in Japanese instantly and ordering Japanese food faster than you can say ラーメン食べたい人!(‘hands up if you want ramen!’). But languages don’t work like that. Sorry. But with effective, immersive language study sessions – learning Japanese can be fun and even addictive! To give you that extra boost of inspiration, here are some tips on how to learn Japanese fast.

It’s never too late to learn a language! Japanese animated cartoons – anime – is awesome! Familiarise yourself with Japanese language through anime (but don’t exclusively watch anime because anime Japanese is not real life language). Remember, they’re acting! Who has the time and money to travel to a Japanese language class that might not even be useful? No thanks! Download an app *ooohhh we know one!* and practice on your own time. Learning words and phrases is a waste of time unless you try saying them aloud. Don’t be embarrassed. Mistakes are part of the game. So just go for it! See our Japanese Video Phrasebook to get you started! Just remember: repetition repetition repetition. Did I mention repetition? There are lots of different places to learn a language. Japan, for one, wouldn’t that be nice? Sigh. But there are also Japanese learning classes and places to learn Japanese online including learn Japanese apps (ummm… hi there) 👋 There’s no one-place-fits-all for learning Japanese. One thing’s for sure: your language learning needs to be easy and fit seamlessly into your lifestyle. Life is busy – this reality hits us hard when we’re adults – so the time you spend learning HAS to be useful. That’s why we’ve got a soft spot for Immersive Language Learning. We believe it’s the best way to learn a language. Why? Because it puts your mind, eyes and ears face to face with authentic language speakers. You experience the sounds, tones, accents, gestures and facial expressions of native speakers… rather than imagining them from a textbook. People will have preferred ways of learning a language, of course. So to guide you, here are a few options to consider when deciding where to learn Japanese. When thinking of where to learn Japanese, it’s possible to relive our school days and learn a language in the classroom again by signing up to a Japanese learning class. These enable feedback from your teacher and to hear natural speech from them in person. Great! But while this might appear fun on the surface… they often prove exhausting. Why drag yourself to a Japanese class after a long day’s work when you can learn while your dinner cooks or on a walk with your dog? Dedicating yourself to a classroom can eat into your time, money and energy more than you accounted for. Importantly, with classes: you have no say on what you learn. The course is decided for you. You want to know what to say when entering a Japanese restaurant or meeting a business professional – but the topic hasn’t been covered in class! Read why learning a foreign language in school doesn’t work. Your time is precious. So use it wisely to learn in a way that fits into your reasons for learning Japanese. Thanks to the internet, there are some useful resources for learning Japanese online. These include online courses, quizzes and language learning apps that enable people to learn a language on their own from the comfort of their sofa. We actually have a website for those who want to hop online and learn Japanese from their laptop, as well as an app for those who learn better on the go! It’s important you choose a language app that works for you and can fit into your life without stress. You may think: ‘Surely an app is just a textbook on my phone?’ and you’re spot on. A lot of apps are basically digitalised versions of large textbooks which recite words & phrases in a slightly bored tone of voice. What’s why we created an app that uses clips of real Japanese locals speaking their native language, while giving you the opportunity to choose what you want to learn! Not to toot our own horn… but that’s pretty cool. Right? Keen to try? Get started now! When considering how to learn Japanese on your own and how to take your first steps to learn Japanese, you need to weigh up your time, motivations and learning goals first. Life is short. So you want something that’s fun and interesting enough to hold your attention! Whether that’s an online class, classroom environment, textbooks or video resources (YouTube, anime, TV series, etc) – there are a few options available when it comes to how to start learning Japanese. Sound good? We believe a great Japanese learning program is one that uses immersive language learning. This means learning a new language in the most natural way possible: by listening to, and interacting with, native speakers. Of course, we can’t just click our fingers and land in Japan. But our app lets you rub virtual shoulders with real locals. This lets you constantly develop proficiency by adding new vocabulary and contexts to your understanding. With immersion, you have access to an authentic version of the language because you’re exposed to native speakers and different contexts. Click on the link to read why immersion is the best way to learn a new language. Immersion is also great because it equips you with useful words and phrases from native speakers that, when repeated, are basically how to learn Japanese language. See our Japanese Video Phrasebook and Japanese Survival Kit for more super useful phrases to get you started. We believe our immersive language learning app is the best program to learn Japanese. No one ever learned to swim from a manual. You have to dive in. Take the dive and give Memrise a try today! There’s no ultimate trick to learn Japanese quick. Hey that rhymes! But there are a few tips we can give you to help you learn this awesome language. For example: So many people forget to pursue their interests when they learn a language. What’s the point of picking up a Japanese existential novel if you hate reading!? Do what you love: makeup tutorials, podcasts, cat videos, watching tennis… whatever it is – but do it in Japanese! 🇯🇵 Not easy (cheers COVID). But there are places online where you can practise your spoken Japanese with other people. We also have specific modes that encourage you to practice speaking - it's perfect to hone your skills and build confidence. When you get to Japan, the locals will LOVE your efforts to speak Japanese. So equip yourself with a few useful phrases and be treated like a hero! Let’s start small. Learn how to say hello in Japanese! Last tip: stay positive as you learn. You are NOT ‘bad at languages’. You just haven’t tried our tips for learning Japanese yet. Yes. The Japanese language has 3 written syllabic scripts that donate sound and meaning: hiragana, katakana and kanji. Wait, WHAT? 🤔 This can scare new learners… but RELAX. If you want to travel around Japan, embrace the culture, and converse with locals – you don’t need to memorise every single character from every script off by heart. Phew! Beginners should start by familiarising themselves with the 46 basic hiragana characters because they help you understand the basic sounds of the Japanese language – and give you confidence to speak them yourselves! By learning hiragana, you’ll learn the basics of Japanese pronunciation. That’s a cool place to start! We can scale up from there. Simple answer: NO. An important thing to remember is that Japanese grammar in textbooks often teaches you to speak in full sentences. In contrast, if you use YouTube, podcasts and maybe an app (*cough* like us) to hear native speakers – you realise that spoken Japanese can often omit a lot of words. This makes the grammar element a little easier. Fun Fact! Politeness is a big part of Japanese culture, and so the grammatical phrase you use will depend on who you’re talking to. Stick to the polite versions to start out. Japanese books, textbooks and dictionaries can offer a useful grammatical foundation and give you the confidence to practise listening and speaking in Japanese. But they don’t suit all learners. Textbooks bore some of us to death. But others like the structure of them. So really, it’s your call. Memrise is fantastic for: Memrise is less fantastic for: You may think we’re only saying this because you’re on Memrise.com. But we created our language learning system to do all the things we see missing in the other books, videos, and apps out there. We believe Memrise is the best program to learn Japanese because you’re able to learn the vocabulary that you find useful, learn fast, keep motivated through having fun, and surround yourself with Japanese native speakers – which all gives you the confidence to communicate! We have a website for those who want to learn Japanese at home on a computer and an app for those who learn better on the go. We teach you with videos of locals, saying useful phrases in the accents, pace, and body language that makes that language come to life. You can choose different levels to learn from at any time, meaning that you can skip to the parts that you find the most interesting and fun! Along with the ability to learn Japanese online, we’ve also built the best app to learn Japanese. The app is created from the ground up to make it the best learning experience on your phone and on-the-go. We know your time is limited. So you need an app that gets straight to the point and teaches you useful phrases that you’ll actually use in real life. Forget just learning stuff for the sake of it. You need to learn language that lets you make real connections with real people. This is why our app uses real native speakers to teach you to speak like the locals do, so you can connect to different people, countries and cultures – and enrich your life!
