Course Overview
Welcome to a new method of learning Japanese!
Goal
To be able to make friends with Japanese through simple conversations in Japanese.
Method
First, by watching the romance drama we’ve prepared.
The main character is Yoo-san, a Taiwanese who has come to Japan to teach English.She meets a Japanese man, Kaneko-san at the sharehouse they live in and gradually starts to have feelings for him.What turn will their relationship take?
Second, with the grammatical explanations of the key phrases used in the drama.
The animations are paired with visual and audio explanations for easier comprehension, and each video contains a practice section, so you can see how well you’ve understood each phrase.
Third, by actually speaking Japanese!
The fastest way to master Japanese is to use it as much as possible, so try to use the phrases taught in the drama in your everyday conversations.
Give it your best!

This was a nice complimentary course. I felt that it really supported my other Japanese resources. If you're looking for some quick circumstantial phrases, and a quick glimpse on some language rules, this course is for you.

This is definitely a great course. I would recommend it to anyone learning Japanese. It is a solid beginners course to the language and a great way of using real world activities by way of a drama to break down grammatical functions that are practical and easy to understand in conversation. My one critique for improvement that would make this a complete 5 star course is that it would be great if it included supplemental resources to refer to that follows the course. For example, a pdf or listing of the grammars being taught and also the vocabulary being used within the drama episodes. They do have subtitles at the end review section for the drama but as we all know subtitles do not give a word for word translation which allows words to be lost within expressions used. Although we may get the gist of whats being said due to the subtitles it is difficult to learn new vocabulary word we may not be familiar with. You would have to research the words individually later. I definitely am looking forward to the next series because it is a well crafted course. :)

Learning Japanese via drama is a very interesting way of studying. The theory part is easy to understand also for complete beginners. It covers the topics which are important for daily conversations with Japanese people.
