The first step in studying Japanese

Many people buy a textbook of Japanese and study a couple of pages and then leave it on the bookshelf for a long time.

Why does this happen?

I think this happens because it is easy to lose your motivation to study articles that are not relevant to you.

Being motivated is the key to learning a language. I believe that preparing for self-introduction of the target language will be the kickstart of studying it.

Rather than using a textbook and learning irrelevant topics for you, I can recommend that you prepare for your self-introduction, first.

I am sure once you memorize the sentences to express yourself in Japanese, you won’t forget those in your lifetime. Then those skills can be the real basis of your Japanese language skills.

Nowadays, you can find Japanese language exchange mates or Japanese teachers online and you may ask those Japanese people to translate your self-introduction and record their voices for practicing.

But if you can’t find any Japanese people around you, then I can assist you.

I have been teaching Japanese in several high schools in Australia. My Year 12 (Grade 12) students were focused on practicing introductions of themselves constantly throughout the year for the VCE exam, the university entrance exam. I have a lot of experience helping students work on self-introduction in Japanese.

I can make original sentences for you, record my Japanese voice in files and send them back to you. You can use the native speaker’s voice for your practice in Japanese.
