Starting with this lesson, we're diving into learning Japanese!

You'll begin by mastering around 100 everyday phrases, get familiar with different levels of formality, learn common greetings, and pick up some useful expressions for traveling in Japan!

You'll cover a lot of phrases in this lesson, but don't worry about memorizing them all at once. Take your time and go at your own pace!

The goal at this stage is to start recognizing these Japanese phrases, especially when you're watching your favorite shows. It’s super cool when you suddenly catch a word or phrase you didn’t understand before, right?

I love that feeling, and I want you to experience it too!

While you're picking up these phrases, it's a good idea to start learning Hiragana and Katakana as well.

It usually takes a couple of weeks to get the hang of all the characters, but focusing only on writing them can get a bit dull.

So, why not mix it up? Learn the phrases and the writing systems side by side.

This way, by the time you've nailed down the Japanese alphabet, you'll also have a solid set of phrases ready to go!
