PROJECT 01 "KATAKANAKARA"

At AREA236, we offer free Japanese pronunciation training for Japanese language learners who purchase “KATAKANAKARA”. The lessons focus on breathing, tongue position, mouth shape, rhythm, etc.

​

The Japanese language differs greatly between the language used in conversation and the language used in reading and writing. Therefore, even if you obtain N1 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), which does not include a practical test for conversational Japanese, you will not be able to speak fluently.Of course, what you have learned in order to pass the JLPT will not be in vain. However, when actually working with Japanese people, being able to speak what you want to say and listen to what the other person wants to say in a natural conversation among Japanese people should be your first priority. “Kanji（漢字）”, which is necessary for reading and writing, and “keigo（敬語）”, which makes the Japanese language difficult, should be learned later. Japanese children study speaking and listening skills first. However, foreigners are taught in a different way.

​

"KATAKANAKARA" is an unprecedented Japanese language education program that targets the ability to converse with Japanese friends at natural speed and beautiful pronunciation. We will help you achieve interaction through conversation in the shortest possible time, leaving the acquisition of kanji and honorifics for later.
