Learn Japanese to visit Japan

With 20 million travelers in 2015 through the 6,852 islands of the Japanese archipelago, from Hokkaido to Shikoku or Okinawa, there is a growing interest in learning Japanese to discover the country .

On the one hand, because often, Japanese are not English speakers. On the other, because speaking Japanese will make it easier for you to better integrate into Japanese society.

To learn Japanese before going to Japan:

• select a learning method (assimil, minna no nihongo, etc …)
• go to a Japanese course with a native
• pass the JLPT at a language school
• do a language exchange with a native speaker and learn Japanese for free
• read manga, watch Japanese TV, listen to the radio
• work in a Japanese company: perfect your vocabulary, learn business Japanese
• integrate a host family
• cohabit with a japanese

Once there, you will be able to discover the great Japanese metropolises, from Sapporo to Fukuoka, passing through Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka.

In these gigantic conurbations of more than a million inhabitants, knowing how to speak a little Japanese will give you the satisfaction of being able to communicate with the Japanese:

• understand merchants
• ask for an address
• choose the dishes in the restaurant
• book a hotel
• understand television
• know how to say good morning (ohayo), wish good luck (ayakaru), give thanks (arigato)
• hone your learning of Japanese culture
• get to know life in Japan

Visit Japanese amusement parks and take a creative or spiritual excursion, an initiatory trip to Mount Fuji . At an altitude of 3,776 meters, you can make its ascent or admire it from one of the five lakes in the Fujigoko region.
