Japanese for Absolute Beginners (JLPT N5 Foundation)

🎌 Welcome, -san!

I still remember the first time I looked at a Japanese textbook. All those symbols — circles, lines, squiggles. My brain said: “This is impossible.” But you know what? Within two weeks, I was reading my first sentence. And now, you’re going to do the same thing.

This course is your launchpad. By the time you finish it, you’ll be able to:

• ✅ Read and write ALL of Hiragana and Katakana (the two Japanese phonetic alphabets)
• ✅ Introduce yourself confidently in Japanese
• ✅ Count from 1 to 10,000
• ✅ Tell time and use the days of the week
• ✅ Ask and answer basic questions
• ✅ Navigate a Japanese restaurant, shop, or train station

No prior experience needed. Just show up, follow along, and trust the process. Let’s go, ! 日本語を始めましょう！ (Nihongo o hajimemashou! — Let’s start Japanese!)
