The blog section contains many tips (techniques) for improving your Japanese.

■ I want to memorize a lot of words

■ I want to be able to read kanji freely

■ I want to pronounce words like a Japanese person.

■ I want to be able to use particles neatly.

■ I want to know about Japanese culture

■I want to understand and converse with native Japanese!

Our teachers regularly write articles to answer your questions about the Japanese language. Please take a look.

Misunderstandings are inevitable when learning a foreign language, so your study methods can sometimes get lost in a maze.

At times like these, it is "correct and abundant knowledge" that will show you the right way out.

What you know is what you know and what you can do.

And reading is the way to know and understand Japanese.

Our JLS blog articles are full of discoveries that will make you surprised to learn that Japanese words have this kind of structure.

When reading, be sure to read the sentences out loud and check your pronunciation.

If you come across a kanji character that you don't know how to read or a word that you don't know, look it up in a dictionary right away.

Reading articles is a natural way to improve your Japanese.

Japanese is also a written culture that uses three characters, including kanji, so in addition to learning sentence patterns and natural phrases, being able to "decipher" them will dramatically improve your Japanese language skills.

Read a lot of texts. And practice.

There is no doubt that developing the habit of reading is a great advantage when studying Japanese.

■The Monogatari series is currently being serialized■

The book features stories from all over the world, past and present, written in relatively simple Japanese and easy to read.

I hope you find a piece you like.

Try out the effects of extensive reading for a month. You'll be amazed at how much you can understand Japanese .

It's okay if you don't understand everything in the "story" you read.

There is absolutely no problem.

Read real Japanese and get to know Japanese words. By touching on first-class episodes and "reading comprehension", the "quantity" of hard work puts the study of kanji, vocabulary and grammar together into "Japanese language ability". And it shows us a natural sense of Japanese. In other words, it could be said to be a way of mapping the vast world of foreign languages.

Recommended reading!

First of all, speak loudly and cheerfully.

Then, read the words of the characters in the quotation marks as if you were that character. Act out the words while considering your voice, intonation, and facial expressions, and let your mouth and facial muscles memorize the Japanese.

This blog has many stories. Some stories are short, some are long, some are easy, some are difficult.

If you start reading a story and think, "Oh, this might be difficult," or "this might be too long," read a different story. Someday you'll be able to read it, so read some other stories now and try again after a while. The most important thing is to enjoy the story.
