I've reviewed three different Japanese programs on the market today - most are well-respected, with specific strengths. But I'll help you choose one that will work for YOU, and which one you must avoid.

Did You Know?

Japanese is spoken by around 130 million people around the world. It's part of the Japonic language family.

Japanese is written with a combination of three different scripts. The first one is called kanji and consists out of Chinese characters. The second and third scripts consist out of two syllabic scripts made up of modified Chinese characters - katakana and kanji.

The so called fourth script is called rōmaji - Japanese written with the Latin alphabet. This is a great way for Westerners to learn Japanese and is also used by Japanese speakers when they use computers.

Japanese is the official language of Japan and Palau.
