This bundle course is designed for complete beginners! By combining our Travel Japanese Course and Hiragana Katakana Practice Course, we've made the steps to learning Japanese simple and accessible.
The Travel Japanese Course is perfect even if you don't know any Japanese characters! You'll learn essential travel phrases in romaji (Romanized Japanese), so you can use Japanese while traveling in Japan, even if you're starting from zero.
Once you know the essential Japanese for travel, you might find yourself more interested in diving deeper into the language. That's where the Hiragana Katakana Practice Course comes in! After getting familiar with essential phrases in the Travel Japanese Course, learning hiragana and katakana will be much easier.
You'll be able to pick up these basic Japanese characters, making your further studies much smoother.
This bundle course is the perfect way to kickstart your Japanese learning journey. There's no better way to start!
COURSE ONE:
ESSENTIAL JAPANESE FOR TRAVELERS
Even if you know nothing about Japanese, after completing this course, you will be able to use the language while traveling in Japan. You'll thoroughly learn essential phrases through repeated practice here, so you'll remember them effortlessly. All that's left is to plug in the travel-related vocabulary as needed (that vocabulary is also included in the course).
Your upcoming trip to Japan will become an unforgettable, lifelong memory. After all, you'll be able to interact with Japanese people in Japanese!
Can't make heads or tails of Japanese characters? No problem! Every Japanese phrase and word in this course comes with Romanized (romaji) transcription. If you can read the alphabet, you can read Japanese. (Plus, Japanese pronunciation is quite simple!)
For example, you'll be able to say things in Japanese like:
- Do you have the time?
- Where is the exit?
- Is this free?
- Can I have some medicine?
- No sugar, please.
- Can I change the date?
- I'd like a table seat.
- What time is the meeting?
- Can I have an English-speaking guide?
- I'd like a window seat.
- Can you change the towels, please?
- Can you tell me the Wi-Fi password?
- Is this spicy?
- Can I have the bill, please?
- Where is the shoe section?
- Can I take a video?
(These are just a few of the phrases included in the course.)
Who is this best for?
- People who have a trip to Japan coming up and want to be able to speak Japanese
- People who have just arrived in Japan
- People who want to communicate with Japanese people during their trip to Japan
- People who don’t understand Japanese at all but are interested in it
- People who want to express simple intentions in Japanese
- People who want to learn survival Japanese
- People who need to urgently communicate their intentions in Japanese
- People who want an introductory course to the Japanese language to help them get to grips with the language
- People who have downloaded Chika-sensei's Key Phrases PDF and want to thoroughly master its content
Let's Practice 11 Key Phrases
Here is a lesson video of "Phrase 1."
Furthermore, to ensure you remember each phrase, the course includes quizzes and audio recordings of the teacher's voice for each phrase in addition to the videos. By repeatedly practicing each phrase multiple times, it will be hard to forget, even if you are not familiar with Japanese now!
To maximize your memory retention, this course includes not only reading and repeating exercises but also homework that involves typing phrases in Romanized script. Studies have shown that writing can improve memory retention by 40%. This means that phrases will stay in your memory longer, allowing you to use them confidently in real-life communication. Plus, your homework will be reviewed by Chika Sensei by the next day!
Let's use these 11 phrases in various situations
Once you've remembered the 11 phrases, try incorporating commonly used words for each situation. Here, the phrases are mixed up, so you can check if you've retained all of them!
Here is a lesson video of "Airport, Airplane"
This section also includes quizzes and audio recordings of the teacher's voice in addition to the videos for each situation. Here, you can review the phrases and also try to remember the commonly used words. Of course, there is also written homework where you type the phrases in Romanized script!
REAL Conversation Patterns
Once you've got the phrases and words down, you'll probably be quite accustomed to the rhythm of Japanese! Real conversations will take place in various situations that you might encounter during your travels. Cute eggplant characters will guide you in Japanese!

COURSE TWO:
HIRAGANA/KATAKANA PRACTICE COURSE
Master Hiragana and Katakana Reading and Writing with This Course!
Your study of Japanese will be much easier if you remember the basic Japanese letters.
Why Choose This Course?
It Makes Learning Easy for Everyone
- Hiragana and Katakana all in one simple and easy course.
- With quick 3-minute videos, you can make good use of your spare time to study.
- The course can be easily accessed from anywhere, on any mobile device, smartphone, tablet, PC, etc., 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Repetitive Learning
- By repeatedly practicing reading, watching, writing, and distinguishing, the characters will be permanently fixed in your memory.
- With different methods such as videos, online quizzes, dictation sheets, and flashcards, you will not get bored, and even people who dislike writing will make steady progress.
- This is a highly effective learning method for beginners who want to master Japanese characters.
Hiragana
「にほんご」"nihongo" in hiragana
Hiragana is the most basic of the Japanese character systems, with a total of 46 letters.
Katakana
「ニホンゴ」"nihongo" in katakana
Katakana is used to write words from foreign languages.
It looks simpler than hiragana and is a little more pointy in shape.
Looking at the unique characters, do you feel, "It looks so hard! I'll never be able to remember them!”?
Don't worry!
When you first start, just looking at the characters will make you feel anxious. But once you get used to them a little, they become really simple. Japanese grammar and pronunciation are not so hard, so once you remember the characters, learning becomes much easier.
How do you get used to the characters?
I designed this course to take care of that problem.
In this course, you learn the same characters over and over again in various ways, helping them sink in quickly.
First, you watch a video on how to write the character, then you guess the Hiragana on an animated quiz or read it aloud with a word quiz.
After that, you review it again with an online, multiple-choice quiz.
Then, practice again by writing them on the drill sheet.
How do you know if your characters are written properly?
With this course, your characters written on the drill sheet will be checked by your Japanese teacher!
If you study the characters in this way, you will master Hiragana and Katakana by the end.
Who is This Best For?
- Anyone who wants to learn Japanese characters correctly
- Beginners in Japanese
- People not yet able to speak Japanese, but who want to give it a try
- People who can speak a little, but can't read
- People who want to learn to write Japanese characters the proper way
- People who want a teacher to check their writing
- People who want to learn Japanese from the ground up
- People who want effective study materials for Japanese characters
- People who can't remember without repetition
- People who have already studied characters and want to review
- People who want to remember Hiragana and Katakana at once
- People concerned about studying alone, who want the support of an expert teacher
- People who want to study characters at their own pace
