About the Course:
How it all began.
-
![]()
It all started with a pandemic…
…so I returned to the UK from my Japanese University program.
-
![]()
And continued university online…
…while Tutoring Japanese along side other jobs to save up to return to Japan.
-
![]()
But Japan stayed closed to foreigners for a long time…
… and I started making more detailed lessons for my Japanese tutoring.
-
![]()
And I put them in website format!
This took a while, as somebody who knew nothing about website creation…
-
![]()
I’d always ask my students…
“Why do you want to study Japanese”
(About 70% did it for anime)
-
![]()
So, using all I’d learnt I started making my website…
…into my idea of ‘the perfect course’.
-
![]()
Interactive, fun, simple…
…with characters the reader can follow.
-
![]()
But, I’m a one person team!
Some features will take a while!
-

My final vision is to teach Japanese through story telling!
Comic books based on level, grammar explained through illustration…
...but visions may change!
-
![]()
Also, I’m still studying!
Making the website along side my job and studies… it takes a while!
-
![]()
The support this course has already received has been overwhelming!
And I can’t wait to watch the website grow!
-
![]()
So one last time, thank you!
The more the website user base grows, the more I’ll be able to work on it!
Now, let’s look at how the website works!
Note: Even if you’ve studied Japanese before, or already know how to write, make sure to check out the entirety of Chapter 1. This chapter acts as both the first lesson, and a chapter explaining how the website works. It explains features such as the hover feature to help you read, and tapping the kanji charts to reveal hidden readings.
