Foundation Japanese: Learn Japanese with the Michel Thomas Method - Digital

Foundation Japanese breaks the language down into building blocks in such a way that you will achieve a high level of competency without having to take notes or memorize lists of vocabulary. This 8-hour course features 2 teachers and a native speaker, to help you tackle pronunciation. Within the first hour you will be able to construct simple sentences. By the end of the course, you will have the confidence to understand and speak basic Japanese. You will learn at your own pace, pausing and repeating where necessary, and complete the course in about 20-30 hours. This digital course is available to stream or download via the Michel Thomas Method Library app.

This course incorporates the Start course.
