The method

How to learn Japanisch with the classics

Reading real books with the translation beside you builds vocabulary in context, and hearing them read aloud trains your ear at the same time.

  1. Pick a book at your level.Start with an Easy story, ideally one you already know.
  2. Read side by side.Japanisch on one side, English on the other, paragraph by paragraph.
  3. Listen as you read.Hear the Japanisch read aloud, and slow it down when you need to.
  4. Check, don’t translate.Read a paragraph in Japanisch first, then look across or tap it.
  5. Read a little every day.Ten minutes a day takes you through a short book in a few weeks.
