Japanese Teacher Mari has launched a website that allows students to study Japanese for free, starting at the absolute beginner level. https://japanese-teacher-mari.com
A Background in Opening the Website
Nowadays, going to Japan is becoming easy. Japanese pop culture, such as anime and manga, is popular among people of all ages and across borders. Their popularity and the depreciation of the yen have further increased interest in traveling to Japan in recent years.
Many people have always had an interest in Japan from anime and manga and have always wanted to visit Japan someday. Although Japan was also closed due to a pandemic a few years ago, the recent depreciation of the yen has increased the enthusiasm for travel to Japan.
Japanese is one of the languages that many foreigners find difficult to learn. The free learning site “Power Up Your Japanese” was created in response to requests from people who wanted to travel to Japan but did not understand Japanese, or who had difficulty understanding Japanese during their trip and wanted to relearn it.
The site is designed to help people learn Japanese from the basics, target on people who don’t understand Japanese at all and don’t even understand how to learn it.
The site has already attracted more than 7,000 users in its first five months of operation and is attracting widespread attention as a way to help people overcome language barriers.
The Feature of the Website
There are many sites where you can learn Japanese, but there are still not so many sites where native Japanese speakers teach Japanese. Mari, who is Japanese native speaker grew up in Japan, explains in detail the nuances used by native speakers.
People who still know very little about the Japanese language can study from zero on this site.
For example, how to say numbers in Japanese is important when saying prices and addresses when traveling in Japan. This site explains it in letters, so it is very convenient to look it up quickly when traveling.
The site also has many articles that learners who are already studying Japanese now are likely to have. It is also a great source of input for those who will be living or working in Japan in the future.
