Don’t lose your Purpose

https://youtu.be/WoSEI_KHiDU "I wish I could speak Japanese more fluently." People like that will try to study a lot of new words and grammar. They might be desperate in their attempts to memorize the vocabulary. Maybe they will watch thousands of videos to learn grammar. Let me ask you a question. What is your purpose for studying Japanese? Memorizing words? Or memorizing lots of difficult grammar? Of course, you may be studying Japanese to master vocabulary and grammar, but isn't your goal "to be able to say what you want to say in Japanese"? Then why do many learners lose sight of their purpose and goals? It is because they "don't have an environment where you can actually talk with Japanese people." Without an environment where you can speak Japanese with Japanese people, the only thing you can do is learn vocabulary and grammar. If you study only vocabulary and grammar, you will start to think of Japanese as an academic discipline, even though it is supposed to be just a communication tool. If you can speak with Japanese people on a daily basis, you will naturally ask yourself, "What can I do to speak more fluently with the Japanese?" This will help you focus on being able to communicate. As a result, you will start studying to be able to speak. What happens when you just must study the vocabulary and grammar you need to be able to have a conversation? What if you could achieve your goals without wasting time? Wouldn't you feel your life would be richer if you could enjoy more conversation and sightseeing in Japan in your free time? And if there was a school where you could get a chance to talk with Japanese for your study? Wouldn't it be great if there was a curriculum and place to learn to speak Japanese in the shortest possible time without learning useless words and grammar? Our school teaches students just the vocabulary and grammar necessary to be able to speak Japanese, while also providing a curriculum and a place to talk with Japanese people. The students who have attended have achieved these results. ================================ I have improved my overall knowledge of Japanese, especially learning how to differentiate between very similar grammar points. My speaking skills improved quite significantly. I have learned a lot about Japan and its culture thanks to studying with native Japanese teachers and also thanks to being able to meet with Japanese English learners through the school. ================================ Why don't you stop wasting your time memorizing words and grammar and join our teachers to learn to speak more Japanese? I am sending more details for those who want to know more.

Find someone you feel safe.

https://youtu.be/gH2HV9CfXIk What is the number one barrier to learning to speak Japanese? To memorize lots of vocabulary? To learn lots of grammar? To talk with many Japanese? Yes, they are also very important. But will I be able to speak if I can do these things? In fact, the most difficult part of learning to speak Japanese is in your "mind." When you speak Japanese with Japanese people, you might think of this: "What if I made a mistake?" "What if they don't understand?" "What if I used some weird Japanese and they laughed or got angry at me?" Everyone has experienced this at least once. This "mind" will make you worried about speaking Japanese, and it is the biggest enemy that holds you back from becoming a fluent speaker of Japanese. "It's okay as long as they get the message." "Making mistakes is not a bad thing." "I don't care even if someone laughed at me." If people who have overcome this "mind" are able to think like this, they will quickly be able to speak Japanese. You might not know how to change your "mind" by yourself. Many Japanese language learners think they can speak fluently if they can talk to many people in Japanese. However, you might not want to make mistakes when talking to a Japanese you met for the first time. Then what can you do? You only need one person. One person. No matter how badly you speak, Or, no matter how many incorrect grammatical and vocabulary mistakes you make, find one native Japanese speaker or a Japanese speaker of a higher level than yourself who will try hard to understand what you are saying. When you talk to that person, I feel safe. You can make mistakes and try out the vocabulary and grammar you've studied. No matter how slowly you speak, it's okay. Your Japanese will continue to grow just by having the opportunity to speak in such an environment. The biggest reason why I was able to speak English (my second language) was because I had English-speaking friends try to understand my poor English. At first, try to find a person with whom you feel comfortable speaking Japanese. "But no one near me would listen to my poor Japanese." You might be worried like that. But what if you had time each week with a person with whom you could safely speak Japanese? I think you would enjoy speaking Japanese and want to learn more. Our online Japanese language school has many great teachers who will try their best to understand your Japanese and correct it. One of my students told me: ==================================== I feel much more confident in my speaking ability and overall ability to communicate with Japanese speakers. It’s much easier to connect with native Japanese speakers because of all of the conversation and output practice I get with Ohanashi Kagawa and Ohanasi Japanese Language School. I feel that my overall confidence has grown in my speaking, grammar, and reading with Japanese. I always look forward to lessons each week, because they keep me motivated to try and learn something new everyday to try out in my lesson. I love lessons with Masako Sensei because she helps me to understand both the things I am doing right, while also kindly correcting the things I am doing wrong. ==================================== Why don't you introduce your teachers to the students who need it, like this person, and spend more time speaking Japanese safely? I am sending an email with details only to those interested. ↓ @import url("https://assets.mlcdn.com/fonts.css?version=1668071"); /* LOADER */ .ml-form-embedSubmitLoad { display: inline-block; width: 20px;

Best Studying method is

https://youtu.be/jvVIibvDE3s You wish to speak Japanese more fluently, but you don't know what to do. I have no friends or teachers nearby who speak Japanese. Even if you study Japanese with vocabulary and teaching materials, you cannot speak when you meet a Japanese person. If you are looking for a good way to learn to speak Japanese more fluently, today I would like to share with you a very special method. That is "soliloquizing training." You speak in Japanese about a topic you have decided on or something that happened yesterday. This "soliloquizing training" is very effective. There is no one listening, so you can take your time and slowly make sentences in your head and output them without being nervous. When you speak Japanese with Japanese people, it is a place of practice. "What should I say in this situation?" You don't have time to think slowly like that, which makes you rush. But with soliloquy training, you can restate your sentence as many times as you want.And no matter how slowly you speak, it's okay. As you practice, you will gradually be able to express your feelings in Japanese. There is one important point.  If there's something you wanted to say but couldn't, take a note and look it up later. Whatever you couldn't say when you were by yourself, you probably won't be able to say it in front of people.  So, write down the words and expressions that you couldn’t say during your practice and look them up later. Just start with 5 minutes per day. But you might be worried. "I don't know what I can talk about." "I'm not sure if I'm saying it correctly." If that's the case, why don't you ask your Japanese teacher to accompany you for conversation practice? With a Japanese teacher, they will ask you questions and correct whatever you say incorrectly by teaching you correct Japanese! What if you had a teacher who would accompany you to a practice? Don't you think you will gain confidence in your speaking skills as you learn to speak more and more? Our school has many teachers who will practice with you. You can ask your teacher to correct whatever you said incorrectly. One of my students once told me this: ====================================== I have a better understanding of Japanese culture. Also my teacher found me a workbook which has really helped me understand a use basic sentences. I really appreciate her assistance I think Japanese is difficult to learn, but that it's easier to learn because of my teacher being a person not an app. Being a native speaker and having the patience to answer my questions in English (because I'm not able to formulate my questions in Japanese yet) My teacher's workbook and focus on my learning style (speaking first, then grammar) has really helped me. ====================================== Wouldn't you like to study Japanese at a school with teachers who help you like this?

The Reason why you can’t Improve Japanese

https://youtu.be/QHLgh-Z6GAE I can't speak Japanese, no matter how hard I study. I've learned a lot of vocabulary, but I can't use it during an actual conversation. I would feel uncomfortable without a dictionary or translator. Have you ever had that experience? The way you're studying, may be the reason why you still can't speak. Why? People who lack confidence in speaking Japanese tend to do the same thing. They feel the need to learn more vocabulary. They feel the need to know more grammar. They think they can't speak because they haven't studied enough. Have you ever seen a friend or another Japanese learner who has been studying Japanese for a shorter period than you or doesn't know the vocabulary and grammar as well as you but is enjoying a conversation and speaking Japanese naturally with a Japanese person? Is it because that person has a bright personality? Is it because that person is not afraid of making a mistake? Is it because that person has many friends and is used to speaking? That might be one of the reasons. But there is one big reason why they can speak Japanese fluently. "They're speaking only with words and grammar that they know." I won't be able to have fun with such a little vocabulary and grammar! Do you really think so? Please think about it. "Poor" (mazushi in Japanese) It is a word you learned in JLPT N2. Let's say you wanted to use this word during your conversation but forgot how to say it in English. What would you do? "Just wait a second!" Would you say that and ask for Siri's help? You couldn't enjoy the conversation like that, right? So, before asking Siri's help, remember asking yourself, "Wait, are there any other ways to describe the word?" Then you might come up with "I have no money." This way, you can carry on with your conversation. "I don't know the word, but that's okay because I can say it in other words." People who are fluent in Japanese can think like this. Those people could improve their Japanese and gain confidence. All right! So, we can rephrase an unfamiliar word into words you know. I will do that! That is correct but wait a minute. Think about another option. How would you like to have an environment where you can practice before you use it? Some have been able to speak Japanese with such ease with only this much practice. Another person was able to speak with this amount of practice. Wouldn't it be nice if this was you? Just a little practice goes a long way. I will only share further information with those who are interested.  If you are interested in having an environment where you can practice, please fill out your email address and name to request a document about our online Japanese language school. ↓ @import url("https://assets.mlcdn.com/fonts.css?version=1668071");

Ever had a “Dream in Japanese?”

https://youtu.be/SQ1cSFwHjkU Have you ever dreamed of you speaking in Japanese? You might wonder why I'm asking you out of nowhere. I believe that this "dream of speaking Japanese" is a signal that you're closer to being able to speak the language. You may wonder what dreams have to do with being able to speak Japanese. When you see a dream of you speaking in Japanese, it is a big sign that your brain is changing into a Japanese brain. When you have a Japanese brain, you can immediately say "I'm hungry" in Japanese without having to form the sentence in English (or your native language). Also, when a Japanese person asks you, "How are you?" You will be able to understand the meaning without having to translate it into English (or your native language). Do you think you have this Japanese brain? If you had a dream that you were speaking Japanese, you have this Japanese brain. You will be fluent in Japanese very soon. I also had a "dream of myself speaking in English" when I was studying English as a second language. I was even talking in my sleep in English. Once I started to have the "English-speaking dream," I remember that I was able to speak English quickly. What if you could think or understand the meaning in Japanese so well that you even dreamed of yourself using it? You may be able to imagine yourself talking happily with Japanese people. For you to have a Japanese brain, we have created a school with a curriculum and teaching materials. It will help you train to become a Japanese brain. Illustrations are used as the main material to help you understand the image and feel of Japanese vocabulary and grammar. Furthermore, when you don't understand a certain word, our teacher will explain it in easier Japanese. One of our students has actually achieved such results. ======================================= Thanks to Japanese language school I could understand the Japanese way of thinking better and it helped me to reach the next level and thus gain confidence. I felt my improvement when I was able to understand the meaning of sentences faster with less confusion. The synergy of different part of comprehension : reading, listening, speaking, helped me a lot in my progress. ======================================= In an environment where one can think of Japanese in Japanese, you would immediately improve and be able to "see dreams of you speaking Japanese."

A Simple Way in Speaking Japanese

https://youtu.be/35eH1CVpgd0 "I wish I could speak Japanese more fluently." But you don't know what you can do. You can't form sentences properly in your head even though you try to talk. Do you have a similar problem? It's hard when you can't speak, even when you want to. Today, I would like to share with you one of the ways to speak Japanese more fluently. Try to simplify what you are trying to say so that you can express it with the easiest possible words and grammar. Just like this: College/University is a growing experience.↓College/University makes me grow up.↓I learn many things at College/University↓わたしは大学(だいがく)でたくさんのことをまなびました(Watashi wa daigaku de takusan no koto wo manabimashita.) If you are a native English speaker, you can express complex things easily. But you're still not very good at Japanese, so it's not surprising that you get stuck when you try to say complicated things. So, by simplifying what you want to say, like in the example, you will be able to speak more Japanese than before. As in the previous sentence, if you want to say, "College/University is a growing experience," You would find it a bit difficult to say it in Japanese. So, you can change the phrase to something simpler and easier to understand. Like, "College/University makes me grow up." If you still find it difficult to translate into Japanese, you can make it even easier by saying, "I learn many things at College/University. Wouldn't it be easier to translate into Japanese? Of course, the nuance of the sentence may be a little different from what you wanted to say at first, but it will be understood by the Japanese. Furthermore, you will feel like you got to say what you wanted to say. When you can easily say what you want to say, you will be able to enjoy the conversation with Japanese people and sightseeing in Japan. However, it takes much practice to be able to speak simple Japanese. Have you practiced properly to be able to speak simple Japanese? Reading books or watching videos alone will not help you acquire speaking skills. You might not be confident enough to speak Japanese yet. For those who do not know how to study Japanese, we are currently offering free Japanese language consultation and free lessons for a limited number of 10 students per month. You don't know how to study Japanese. If you are interested in taking Japanese lessons to solve what you don't understand, please feel free to join us.

Do Japanese People Speak English in Daily Conversation?

Many people from many countries are looking forward to coming to Japan as they have been waiting for a long time as the restrictions on entry into Japan by the Corona are being eased. However, if you are coming to Japan for the first time, you may be worried about whether or not the Japanese can understand English when you speak to Japanese people in English or whether Japanese people speak English or not. Knowing whether Japanese people speak English before you come to Japan may help make your visit to Japan more enjoyable. The writer of this article was born in Japan, graduated from high school under the Japanese English education system, and then went on to study psychology at a university in the U.S. using English, which is not my native language. Through my study in the U.S., I learned the reality that the English I had learned in Japan were completely useless, and I wrote this article based on my experience of thinking about and researching why so many Japanese do not speak English. Only 2.5% of the Japanese population speaks English? Survey of 1,000 Japanese people by a Japanese company. Can you imagine how many Japanese speak English?In 2017, Kodansha Co., Ltd. in Japan surveyed 1,000 Japanese men and women in their 20s to 60s who had never lived overseas or studied abroad and had learned English only through school education in Japan (we call them “Zyunzyapa”). The results revealed the current situation of Japanese people’s English levels and attitudes toward English. Referrer https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/release/201701057627 Only 2.5% answered that they can speak and listen to English without problems Kodansha Co., Ltd. took surveys of Zyunjapa (Japanese people who received their English education only in Japan) and found that surprisingly, only 2.5% of Zyunjapa have the ability to speak and listen to English conversation without problems and only 2.2% of the Japanese people said their speaking ability was at a level that would allow them to do their jobs.How do you feel about these results? Many Japanese people today study from elementary school through university and Japanese who go on to university have had 16 years of English education in Japan. It is hard to believe that only 2.5% of Japanese can speak and listen to English without any problems. Almost half (43.5%) of the Japanese people said that they can hardly speak at all, and 49.9% said that they can speak at the level of Japanese elementary school students (i.e., they can say a few words they know). Only 20% of Japanese people answered that they could answer when asked for directions by English speakers How many of the Japanese people you ask for directions when you actually come to Japan are able to answer in English?According to a survey of 1,000 Zyunjapa (Japanese who received their English education only in Japan), only 20% of Japanese people could answer in English (21.8%) when asked for directions by English speakers. Therefore, if you ask 10 Japanese people for directions in English, only 2 Japanese people will answer correctly. Many Japanese will be panicked when suddenly spoken to in English. Why do Japanese not speak English? So why are so many Japanese who cannot speak English so well? While it is true that there are differences in grammar and pronunciation between Japanese and English, these are often not the only factors. I believe that there are 5 main factors that prevent Japanese people from speaking English. 1: Japanese people have only received English education for entrance examinations. The first reason is that many Japanese students take English classes in school not to learn to speak English, but to get a high score to pass the high school or university entrance examinations. For this reason, most English classes in Japan focus only on grammar and reading. Speaking classes are rarely given unless you attend a school that specializes in English, such as an international school. In fact, I took English classes in elementary school, junior high school, and high school, but I rarely had a conversation in English during class. I spent most of my time just trying to understand the structure of English sentences. This is why many Japanese students dislike English classes. In fact, according to a survey of 1,000 Zyunjapa (those who studied English only at school in Japan), 62.7% of them “did not enjoy” English classes in junior high school. The reasons for this were that the classes were “boring” and “full of grammar. Recently, the number of ALTs (Assistant Language Teachers) from overseas has been increasing, and teachers are trying to increase opportunities for students to experience real English in Japanese schools, but there is not enough speaking time for Japanese students to speak English if there is only one ALT. 2: Almost zero opportunity to speak English in Japan The second reason is that there are still few opportunities to speak English in Japan. Especially in rural areas of Japan, there are few foreign tourists or immigrants, so opportunities to interact with non-Japanese people are almost zero. In fact, I lived in a rural area of Japan and was desperately looking for a place where I could speak English before entering a university in the United States. There were few such places, however, and the only opportunities to speak English with people from other countries were to go to an English conversation school or find a place called a “foreigner’s bar. I don’t think it is possible for Japanese people to learn to speak English if there is no place where they can use English even if they learn it. 3: Perfectionistic, afraid to make grammatical mistakes The third factor is that many Japanese are perfectionists who are afraid of making mistakes in grammar and vocabulary. In fact, I am one of them. When I entered a university in the U.S., I was always afraid that I would make a mistake in my grammar, so I could not speak up even if I wanted to. I believe that one of the main reasons I became afraid of making grammatical and vocabulary mistakes is because of the English education in Japan. Japanese English education is mainly based on a point deduction system. Therefore, no matter how well you understand the meaning, the more minor grammatical and spelling mistakes you make, the more points are deducted, and you cannot receive points unless you make sentences with perfect grammar and words. This “English must be perfect” mentality is what discourages Japanese people from speaking English. 4: Less need to study English in the first place The 4th factor is the fact that many Japanese people feel less need to study English in the first place. In today’s Japan, economically speaking, there is little need to use English if many Japanese people just work and live in Japan, and few Japanese people have ever been abroad. In fact, when I was a student, I did not feel the need to study English at all. I felt that why should I learn English by going through hardship when I was going to live in Japan anyway? And as long as I stay in Japan, I have few opportunities to speak in English, so I don’t feel the need to study English. After all, I myself did not feel the need to study English until I actually studied at a university in the U.S. and began to use English in business. However, it is a fact that the need for English is increasing in Japan and the world, where globalization is progressing, and I feel that Japanese people need to learn English more and more. 5: Many Japanese are shy and not good at initiating conversation The last factor is that many Japanese people are shy and are not comfortable talking to others. This is due in part to cultural factors. In Japan, people rarely greet or talk to strangers in a friendly manner. For example, when I lived in the U.S., I often casually said “Hi” to people I walked past, or made casual conversation with them, asking how they were doing. If you were to do that in Japan, you might be thought of as suspicious or strange, and people would be very cautious of you. Having grown up in such an environment, I feel that it is too hard for Japanese people to speak to people abroad in English. When I myself saw a non-Japanese person having trouble on the street, I was too afraid to talk to him even if I could speak English a little. Such cultural and personality factors may be one of the reasons why Japanese people do not speak English. Phrases for when you meet Japanese who don’t speak English. If you do not know any Japanese when you come to Japan, it may be difficult to enjoy sightseeing unless you have an interpreter to help you. By knowing at least a few phrases, you may be able to enjoy yourself a little more when you come to Japan for sightseeing, and you may have less trouble when you are in Japan. Try to remember the phrases I am going to introduce now and use them when you come to Japan. Phrases to use when asking Japanese people who don’t speak English 1. すみません。ひとつおうかがいしたいことがあるのですがExcuse me, I’d like to ask you one question. 2. すみません。すこしおしえていただきたいことがあるのですがExcuse me. I would like to ask you to tell me a few things. 3. すみません。すこしいいですか?Excuse me. May I have a moment? Phrases telling the destination where you want to go to Japanese people who don’t speak English 1. Name of placeという場所(ばしょ)にいきたいのですが、どうしたらいいですか?I want to go to a place called Name of place, how should I go? 2. Name of placeという場所(ばしょ)はどこにありますか?Where is the place called Name of place? 3. Name of place にはこの道(みち)であっていますか?Is this the right way the Name the place? Phrases to ask Japanese people who don’t speak English when shopping 1. これを買(か)いたいです。I would like to buy this. 2. これはいくらですか?How much is this? 3. Name of product はどこにありますか?Where is the Name of a product? Phrases for asking Japanese people who don’t speak English for help 1. すみません。たすけてもらえますか?Excuse me, could you please help me? 2. すみません。こまっているのですがExcuse me, I am having a problem now. 3. すみません。てつだってもらえませんか?Excuse me. Could you help me? Phrases for expressing gratitude to Japanese people who don’t speak English 1. ありがとうございます!Thank you very much. 2. たすかりました!I appreciate your help! 3. 本当(ほんとう)にかんしゃしています。I really appreciate it. How do Japanese people feel when they have to speak English? Finally, I would like to tell you how Japanese people who don’t speak English feel when English speakers talk to them.By understanding how Japanese people who don’t speak English feel when English speakers talk to them, you may be able to understand how they feel and know how to deal with it. 1- Desperate to answer in English First of all, Japanese people get nervous when they see a foreigner and feel they have to speak English. Even if you can speak Japanese, the Japanese will be desperate to communicate with you in English. They may try to answer your questions in English using poor English and gestures, so please listen carefully and speak slowly when asking questions in English. 2- They want to tell you they don’t speak English and walk away Secondly, Japanese people who believe they are not good at speaking English tend to avoid people from foreigners so that they will avoid being spoken to. They may say “No, No, I don’t know” and try to escape when you approach them. This is not because they don’t like you, it is just that many Japanese people are negative mind about their English level. They feel ashamed of not being able to speak English, so they try to avoid or avoid you. Understand that some people avoid or escape from such feelings. 3- Panic because their mind has gone blank The last pattern is that Japanese people’s heads go completely blank. Such Japanese people who don’t speak English may freeze up and not be able to speak at all. In such cases, you should gently tell them that it is okay. They may be relieved to hear you speak a little Japanese. How was it? Many Japanese people rarely speak English in their daily life, and it may be difficult to really enjoy sightseeing in Japan unless you can speak a little Japanese when you come to Japan. So, before you come to Japan, improve your Japanese language skills as much as possible so that you can enjoy Japan as much as possible!

Learn How to Speak Japanese Fluently: 5 ways to boost your speaking in Japanese

In your study of the Japanese languageHave you ever thought “I want to learn how to speak Japanese quickly. or I want to speak Japanese fluently”?You study Japanese grammar and vocabulary every day, but when you try speaking in Japanese, the words and grammar you have learned don’t come out at all.Even if you have the opportunity to talk with Japanese people, you may have experienced that your mind goes blank and you are at a loss.I am sure that some of you have experienced this.If you feel that no matter how much you continue to study for your Japanese language skills, you are still unable to speak it, perhaps you are not learning enough to speak Japanese. In this article, I will tell you how to learn to speak Japanese, how to motivate yourself to learn to speak Japanese, and where and what resources you can actually talk to Japanese people. I decided to go to college in the U.S. when I could not speak English at all even though I studied English as my second language in middle and high school. I enrolled in and graduated from a college in the U.S. in about two years after doing a lot of trial and error on my own by researching various methods of learning a second language.Currently, I run an online Japanese language school and support many students who are learning Japanese, providing lessons to help students learn to speak Japanese quickly and giving them opportunities to interact with Japanese people in real life. 5 ways to learn to speak Japanese fluently I came to the conclusion that these 5 learning methods are necessary for learning to speak Japanese through my study of English, my second language, and through teaching Japanese to students who are actually learning Japanese. In this article, I will share them with you one by one. 1. Repeat words and phrases until you can speak them unconsciously over and over again First of all, the 1st way to learn to speak Japanese is to repeat words and phrases that you can surely speak over and over again so that you can speak them unconsciously.I have seen many students who focus only on understanding words and phrases and continue to study by simply reading and understanding a vocabulary book and that is it.No matter how much you can understand the meaning of the words when you study, you need to work on remembering the words and phrases you have learned over and over again in order to be able to recall them on an unconscious level from there. In particular, it is very effective to be able to visualize and feel Japanese words and phrases just by looking at them, without translating them back to your native language, so that you do not have to translate them from your native language to Japanese every time you speak Japanese.There is no need to memorize a lot of words and phrases. If you can concentrate on learning only the most commonly used words and phrases, you will be able to express your intentions to Japanese people with words even if you have not memorized grammar. Learning words and phrases that you can use unconsciously is the first step to learning to speak Japanese.We have created our original vocabulary books, which are designed to help you memorize words with images and example sentences. You can download them for free. Download a free vocabulary book verbs 100 + → 2. Remember sentence patterns until you can speak them unconsciously through repetition The 2nd way to learn to speak Japanese is to remember grammar and sentence patterns over and over again until they come up unconsciously and automatically.There are a number of grammar and sentence patterns in Japanese. By learning these patterns, you can easily create sentences by simply putting the words you have learned into the patterns.For example, in the Japanese passive form, there is a sentence pattern “Noun に Verb られる”. By learning this pattern, you can create sentences like this “こども (child) は はは (mother) におこられる(angry) by putting words into the sentence patterns.Your Japanese speaking level depends on how many of these sentence patterns you can use.However, you may find someone around you who seems to speak Japanese fluently. But in fact, that person is just using the same sentence patterns that the person has used and acquired over and over again. I myself use only a few English sentence patterns that I have learned when I speak English. You don’t have to memorize all the patterns, just a few that you can use with certainty will make you seem like a fluent Japanese speaker to others. 3. Create time to think only in Japanese and switch from your native language brain to a Japanese brain The 3rd way to learn to speak Japanese is to intentionally make time to think only in Japanese and switch your brain from your native language brain that you normally use to a Japanese brain.In your daily life, you always use your native language or a language you are familiar with, and you think in that language in your mind.In this situation, even if you try to speak Japanese, you will always translate your thoughts into your mind, and you will not have time to think only in Japanese. Therefore, at first, try to think only in Japanese for one minute, so that you can think about everything in Japanese only. A recommended training method is to say what you see around you in Japanese anyway or try to speak what you are thinking in Japanese, even if it is slowly. It may feel hard when you are not used to it, but you will feel growth as the amount of time you spend thinking and speaking only in Japanese. 4. Talking to yourself in Japanese and feedback by recording The 4th way to learn to speak Japanese is to record your own talking to yourself on a video or app and listen to it again by yourself and give feedback.For me, this training for speaking to myself was very useful for learning English, my second language.The process is very simple. First, you decide on a topic, and then you talk about it on camera or record yourself using an app and listen back to the recording.It is a good idea to start with a simple topic such as what happened today, your plans for the day, or something you enjoyed recently. As you get used to it, you can try topics for discussion or express your thoughts on news topics.And after practicing speaking to yourself, be sure to review the video or audio recording you took or made. Then, make a note of the parts you could not speak well, or the phrases you wanted to say but could not, and look them up as you make your sentences. By doing so, you will be able to focus on the expressions and words that you could not say, and you will be able to learn to speak Japanese more and more. 5. Get experience speaking with real Japanese people The last way to learn to speak Japanese is to get more experience speaking with real Japanese people.No matter how many vocabulary and sentence patterns you learn and how much you practice talking to yourself unless you talk to real Japanese people, you will not be able to assess whether or not your Japanese is understandable to native Japanese people.When I myself was studying English, I experienced that when I talked to an actual native English speaker, the phrases and grammar I had remembered were sometimes understood by him/her, and sometimes not. By doing so, you can build up your data like people don’t use this word in this situation, or you could communicate well in this way, and your Japanese will become closer to the native level.However, many Japanese learners may be wondering how to find opportunities to talk with actual Japanese people, so I will tell you about places and resources where you can actually communicate with Japanese people later on. Places where you can learn to speak Japanese with real Japanese people Many Japanese language learners are wondering how they can get more opportunities to talk with Japanese people when there are very few Japanese people in their area or country, they have no Japanese friends, and they are not able to study abroad. For those people, I would like to introduce 3 free places and resources where you can talk and interact with Japanese people in Japanese. Learn to speak Japanese at Ohanasi Kagawa Ohanasi Kagawa is our online Language Exchange event. The event is organized online on weekends and includes 2 one-on-one (or in groups depending on the number of participants) 15-minute sessions of Japanese and English conversation between Japanese people and Japanese language learners.Not only will you be able to have real conversations with Japanese people in Japanese, but you will also be able to have in-depth conversations with them by talking one-on-one.You will have time to speak only in English during each session, so you do not have to use Japanese all the time. Even if you are not confident in your Japanese, you can gently teach English to Japanese people, and they will kindly teach Japanese to you. Please refer to the website below for more information on how to participate. Ohanasi Kagawa website → Learn to speak Japanese at Meetup The Meetup.com website has a variety of Language Exchange events and groups where you can learn to speak Japanese. Ohanasi Kagawa, which we run, is listed on Meetup, but there are many other groups as well, so finding a Langauge Exchange group that suits you is a very effective way to learn to speak Japanese. If there are parties or events where you can interact with Japanese people in your area, you should actively participate. Meetup.com → Learn to speak Japanese at Hello talk HelloTalk is a very popular language exchange app that mainly uses chatting, so you can chat with Japanese people and even make phone calls.If you like chatting, I highly recommend this app. However, due to the time difference, some people may find it inconvenient to chat only, so if you want to focus on your speaking, we recommend you meet Japanese people in person and interact with them.
