3 Key Differences from Other Japanese Learning Videos

1. Direct Method Tailored for Upper-Beginner Learners (N5 → N4, N4 → N3)

Our courses are developed entirely using the Direct Method, a technique commonly used in Japanese language schools. Unlike other video lessons that rely on English or subtitle translations, we teach fully in Japanese to dramatically improve listening and speaking skills. By eliminating subtitles and using only Japanese, learners become more conscious of the language they hear—building the ability to understand and communicate in Japanese naturally.

2. Explanations Using Vocabulary and Grammar You Already Know

We carefully structure our lessons using grammar and vocabulary that learners have already studied. This makes explanations easy to follow—even for beginners—and helps students build the skill of understanding Japanese in Japanese, rather than constantly translating in their heads. It’s a smooth, natural transition to higher levels.

3. Clear, Motivating, and Engaging Video Lessons

Our videos recreate the atmosphere of a face-to-face classroom. Instructors appear on screen and speak directly to learners, maintaining a strong sense of connection and motivation. We also emphasize teaching sentence patterns with context—so learners don’t just memorize phrases, but truly understand when and how to use them in real-life situations.
