In this section, you will find some basic lessons in Japanese. The lessons are divided into general lessons, pronunciation and writing lessons.

Even though the lessons cover the basic level of Japanese, we have tried to mix in some Japanese characters. This is to make you comfortable with the characters. If it looks to hard, use the roomaji (alphabet), and make a try with the Japanese characters later. The beginner lessons have numbers starting at 100, and advanced beginner lessons starting at 200.

100 - Beginner

These lessons focus on the language structure and basic vocabulary.

Asking Questions

If you have a question about specific content in a lesson, you can use the "comment" function on the lesson page to do so. If you have a more general question, however, please ask it in the Japanese Language discussion forum (use the Discussion Forum link on the Main Menu). A member of the StudyJapanese team will usually get back to you pretty soon after you post a question there.

Contribution and Credits
