Why Mami’s Japan?

My course is aimed at introducing beginners to Japanese language & culture. It’s great for anyone planning a holiday or wants to study for fun.

Culture Notes

My culture notes give more background to the language you learn. You’ll discover about everyday life in Japan, family traditions and popular ceremonies.

I also share my favourite places to go shopping in Tokyo, introduce some of Japan’s most exciting sight-seeing attractions and explain how to make the most of our fast and efficient public transport!

My culture notes are based on my own travels and experiences – making them distinctive and unique! They’ll enrich your understanding of Japanese language and help you enjoy the beauty of Japan.

 


 

Writing Japanese

My course teaches Japanese language using an alphabet called ‘romaji’. This is often used to teach beginners and uses the Latin alphabet (just like you are reading here!).

However, I have a ‘bonus’ lesson which introduces native Japanese characters, with animations showing how to write each one. This will give you an overview of traditional Japanese characters like Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji.

You’ll also learn how to write words for important events, like birthdays, New Year and family occasions.
