Have you heard people saying “Oh no! Japanese is really a tough language”?

Japanese is NOT difficult

We know by our years of experience that most of the students in frustration convey to you that Japanese is really a tough language because of their old and wrong way of learning the Japanese language.

 Let’s understand the difference first

Most students do the same mistake of doing the study of Advance Japanese same as they did Basic Japanese. They learn a vast number of Kanji by writing them and waste their precious time. In the end, they realize that the ways should be actually entirely different while going into the advanced study.

So what’s the Secret?

The secret is to start learning Japanese in a practical way and rather than only cramming the vocabulary and patterns, you should start speaking the sentence that came in front of you while studying. Be it basic or be it advanced. All the secrets have been told here on nihongomax.com in over 3,000 audios in plain and hitting Hindi. Go use them.

Things to master are Dokkai and Chōkai

Students take a long time to understand very simple things. They should learn spoken Japanese by imitating Japanese listening. Or they can read and solve a long comprehension passage if they keep reading and reading Japanese. There is no shortcut to it.

Is Japanese speaking difficult?

Not for Hindi speakers!

The spoken Japanese structure resembles very much that of Hindi. It resembles so much that it is very easy to translate it into Hindi compared to English. That’s why there is a worldwide impression of the Japanese being difficult over the internet. Because seems difficult to native English speakers such as Americans or Europeans most of them are content creators and bloggers about Japanese language learning.

But I saw that the Japanese script is very difficult. Is it true?

Yes, that’s true. The script of Japanese is a little hard to learn. That’s why we have told you that it can be mastered by learning in a systematic way by dividing it into some levels. Thankfully JLPT has made criteria and levels very clear and thus nihongomax.com has been structured for you.

Is it still difficult for you? Log in and put every kind of your difficulty on the wall. What and how do read the Japanese language and by when we can get a confidence level in it? How can we get a Job in Japanese and what are the minimum criteria? We know what and how to explain. You can count on us.

What not to do

Let’s understand what is NOT true about Japanese language learning

1. Only kanji learning is enough and better way to learn Japanese??
2. Only English meaning can be learned for every Kanji and for every vocabulary in Japanese??
3. That there is no need for speaking the choukai (Listening questions) using audio??
4. The long reading section in the JLPT exam for Japanese is very difficult and there is no solution to it??

GET THE ANSWERS

Students usually make the mistake of learning Japanese like mathematics. They start reading and memorizing everything that is told in books without understanding the fact that a foreign language cannot be memorized as mathematical formulas. So in the process of learning, whenever students come across with exceptional Language, they get frustrated and say that Japanese is a tough language.

The key to mastering the Japanese language is to learn vocabulary in sentence form. After becoming a little speedy in reading, one should start speaking those sentences.
After getting adapted speed reading and speaking one can see the magic.

 Let’s take an example of新聞

It is read as “Shimbun” (しんぶん) and the meaning is “Newspaper”

Now even if you have learned both Kanji (新) as “Atarashii” and (聞) as “Kiku”, You have to again learn it as a combination of 新聞. So rather than going the difficult way, let’s start learning it as a vocabulary.

Also, if you should even don’t learn it as a vocabulary, but read it as a sentence 4-5 times likeわたしは日本語の新聞が難しくてわからない。

It will not only help you greatly master the vocabulary but it will also increase your speed of reading.

Also, if you speak it loud while reading, it will enhance your listening skills.

There are people who take 2-3 years to achieve an advanced level in the Japanese language by studying very hard. And there are people who do it in less than 1 year studying by a practical approach. Now the choice is yours.

SOME FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING LEARNING JAPANESE

1. The Japanese language cannot be mastered by learning only the words or the rules of grammar. They are told only to teach the correct building of sentences.
2. Make it a daily activity to speak the sentences given here and it will automatically help you learn the words, grammar, and even particle usage.
3. Like a child learns a language by listening to his parents, TV, neighbors, friends, etc, as a foreign language student, we have to become our own friends by making ourselves listen to the language 4-5 times every time we understand any new thing.
4. Whenever a new word comes, don’t learn it by its English meaning only. English meaning is required we understand, but only in the initial phase when we don’t know its meaning and usage at all.
5. Once we are familiar with its meaning and usage, learn it by repeating the sentence.
6. If you follow the instructions given above honestly, your chances of failing the exams become minimal.
7. Also, there is a common myth about CHOUKAI that it is the most difficult section of the exam. Believe it or not, while speaking the sentences you will automatically feel a significant improvement in your listening skills. So keep listening to the audio given here repeatedly.

Japanese language study techniques

As we told you there are people who study very hard. Very very hard. And say “OMG! Japanese is really a tough language”. So the technique is “NOT TO LISTEN to THEM”

Focus on practical knowledge

Let us share with you that a foreign language especially the Japanese language cannot be mastered by only learning vocabulary and grammar. The key is what we do here is to absorb the language by audio and then repeat the sentences and feel the language with meaning.

Not only Concepts but counseling too

While listening, learn what mistakes usually students (Even senior students) do. And learn what not to do while studying the Japanese Language. Any day any time you can ask us what actually is the good way to conquer this language.

Listening and comprehension Secret

You must have heard SAYONARA for goodbye in Japanese…

But believe it or not, Japanese people don’t say SAYONARA for goodbye…

Sayounara (さようなら ) is the dictionary Japanese equivalent of goodbye, but it is not commonly used by native Japanese speakers.

Actually, SAYONARA means a permanent bye-bye. That means you are saying there is a chance that you might not be meeting for quite some time or forever.

It is better to know first how to communicate in Japanese  while speaking with a Japanese person.

Saying SAYONARA to your boss or a family member may leave them feeling sad or confused.

4. お先に失礼します (おさきにしつれいします, osaki ni shitsurei shimasu) – Excuse me for leaving first

It is well known that Japanese people work long hours. Eventually, when they leave the office, they politely say the greeting of leaving office:  “Osaki ni shitsurei shimas” to the people who are still left and working in the office. It literally means, excuse me for leaving first. You can also just say the short form お先に (おさきに, osakini), to your close colleagues, but not your boss.

Real Feedback of Nihongomax Japanese Language institute’s student

Hello everyone I am Monica, I am studying the Japanese language now from Nihongomax Delhi institute Just after completion of my 12^th class. I feel Nihongomax is the Best Japanese language learning institute because they train a student for JLPT and speak the Japanese language as well in an excellent manner.

Nihongomax also gives you a platform for a better career scope in the Japanese language and opens your career opportunities for Japan. I have experienced it really good and now I am doing JLPT N5 level. There are 5 levels namely N5, N4, N3, N2, and N1. N5 is the basic Japanese level which starts from the introduction of Japanese and N1 is the hardest.

The key factor of NIHONGOMAX institute is the conversation classes that motivate a student to learn the Best Japanese language, do their best in JLPT, and in the future, become a good speaker or to become like a bridge between India and Japan. The teachers at Nihongomax help the applicants by guiding them about everything like speaking Japanese in hard situations, Solving paragraphs question answers, and how to get a Japan visa. They track all the activities from start till the end which is required for a successful study visa processing.

Nihongomax is a great place to study and learn the Japanese language the way of teaching is easy and efficient. They use audio and video to make Japanese understand fast and the teachers always give their best to support a student. Also, the institute is very neat and clean and the environment is student-friendly and it can be called a nice place to study.

They always teach in a practical way that really helps a student to explore more about Japan being a Japanese language beginner student. I am still in N5 level and seriously I have a strong feeling that I already know a lot of things about Japan and Japanese which I really want to tell in front of all you like Japanese behavior, kindness and helpfulness is very excellent. Japan has a very long and rich history with some very beautiful things in its culture that no other country has.

WHY DO YOU WANT TO LEARN JAPANESE (NIHONGO)?

WHY NIHONGO? Wow, seems like the question is aimed at testing out our drive behind learning Nihongo. Hence, I’ll answer accordingly. Nihongo is closely related to Nihon (Japan). So, I must first answer why Nihon? Or more precisely, how Nihon?

Now many, I was first introduced to japan through media and entertainment [anime]. During my freshman year at college, I was introduced to amine, initially, I liked anime with no concern for Nihongo. Over time I realized that I was becoming interested in japan .now, my fondness for anime started shifting to things like onsen, shrines, Japanese people, food, culture, and also the language.
Now, I started paying attention and learned some common words from the internet like Arigatou, Sumimasen, Konnichiwa, daijobu. I still had a dream of living in Japan and experiencing the culture and environment there. I wasn’t sure though if I could go to Japan. I wished that I could converse with a Japanese person, which I did later on [ not fluently]. This provided me with the motivation to start learning Japanese properly. I still didn’t believe I could go to japan though gradually, I started learning about people who had done it ., reading about them. This was a big inspiration and led me to be sure of my decision of going to Japan.
I also realized that I know so little and had so much more to learn Nihongo and couldn’t be more sure of it. This is how developed. it’s been a long process from anime to japan to Japanese culture, a little experience with Japanese people and finally decided to start leaving a Japanese.
THANK YOU.
