Udemy:Japanese for beginners based on MISJ (Version 2)
2018~Mar. 2021



Steve Brooks

So far it is systematic and focused. exactly what I was hoping for. All the other courses ( Books and CDs ) seem to bounce around from topic to topic, learning a few phrases parrot fashion without fully understanding what you are saying or why.

Simran
So far it has bee just the introduction about what we will study. The way Mikiko san described language study seems promising and logical.

Fariana
Sensei teaching and explanation are very clear and well that I get to learn the japanese language very quick. Yet, the "Summary" part sometimes boring for me that I always skip it. Overall is good. Thank you, Sensei. I hope you keep teaching us until Advance Level.

So far she really had an understanding of what it means to learn a language in living here in Japan she’s 100% authentic Japanese teacher and I’m looking forward to see if I can actually learn to speak Japanese with this program

Carly Grant
Another amazing course, just as expertly delivered as the first section. This course is so well-structured and helpful and it made learning new topics and terms very easy. Cannot recommend enough.

I thoroughly enjoyed how to use Verbs in Japanese for daily Purposes.

TOP

Mathew Kezer
The lessons are slow, but the subject matter stays in your mind. I have done Japanese language courses on other platforms and this course has helped the most with remembering and understanding Japanese. The other platforms tend to use a flash card type of system. This course provides context to the learning which is much more helpful when learning a new language.

Maya Lourie
Great course, instructor makes everything easy and fun to remember with a lot of practice, places a big focus on verbal skills.

Honestly, before going through this course, was scared of the experiences have heard of the learners who want to learn the beautiful language of Asia - Japanese. But the fine organization and simple blocks of this course indeed made a lot of difference for me.

The Course is seriously systematic and a perfect approach to learn Japanese gradually. I found the course seriously interesting and fun to learn.

Maria Luisa Galaz Palma
she is a great teacher. It´s an easy way to learn japanese.

TOP

Gerald Linares
Iwasaki Sensei courses so far is excellent with a nice slow/medium pace for beginners students like myself to learn and catch up. As a martial arts student (Karateka), this is extremely useful taking Japanese language courses to communicate with Japanese parents and kids since some doesn't speak English and this will help me communicate with them with my Japanese lessons here using the MISJ approach.

Selena Teodoro Bortoletto
I liked the course! Iwasaki Sensei has a good methodology that makes the learning process light and pleasant.

TOP

Brandon Bernier
Very knowledgeable, good presentation skills.

Fahad Oudah
MISJ is a very good and effective course. If you do whatever Iwasaki-sensei says you should do, I have no doubt you'll be able to learn. I had to skip a chance to study at a local Japanese school sadly due to it being very far away from my home. So my next best option was to find a very good online course, and I'm so happy I found this course. It's an excellent course with an interesting method of teaching. It's quite effective in helping you remember what you've learned. Right now, as a supplementary thing, I've started using cards to help memorize common words. My goal is to memorize 2000 words by the next 3-4 months.

Kurt J Howard
Awesome instructor. Easy to understand. Positive attitude. I like that she narrates the lesson in English. Japanese immersion didn't work for me.

This is the third set in the MISJ program and I can honestly say that this has helped me build a better foundation for my Japanese studies than any other program. I have tried every book and website I could find and nothing has been as effective.

Good Japanese course for beginner

TOP

Carly Grant
The course was very easy to understand and the teacher was very thorough when explaining new concepts. The systematic nature of the course ensures that you don't forget what you learnt after one lesson, and remembering words and phrases becomes much easier with this method. The course was very helpful for an absolute beginner like myself to begin learning Japanese and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a friendly introduction to learning the language.

Ms. Iwasaki teaching method is very much detailed and systematic. It helps you to remember and understand the concept. She also includes japanese cultural background for a better understanding of why some phrases are used in certain situation and not the others. Her teaching style makes me feel like i'm physically attending her class, it feels personalized and her method is really focused on helping the students to learn Japanese the right way. I would recommend her lesson to anyone who want to learn Japanese and have a strong foundation in the language. She is a true educator!

thank you for the lesson it helps me to understand how to pronounce the longer letters fluently and how much i use my vocals to pronounce those letters. and also how to ask questions in Japanese...

TOP

Ruampol T.
I'm new to Japanese language so I undertook this course as a "beginner". For me, her explanations are just right without OVER explaining. This instructor is very clear and concise and she stays on topic. Her technique is for beginner to start naturally speaking Japanese as fast as possible. For improvement, I hope the instructor should provide the downloadable PDF resources that are detailed to contain the information which she mentioned in the lessons.

David Vazquez
Iwasaki-sensei feeds the language rules in a way that's very easy to retain. I got my girlfriend to watch a few lessons, she is very impressed. She wants to see more!

TOP

David Vazquez
Iwasaki-sensei's teaching style of introducing letters and vocabulary between language rules resembles brick layering. The bricks are the letters and vocabulary, and the mortar is the rules. MISJ is strong, solid, and very easy to understand. I will recommend this course to everyone who wishes to begin learning Japanese.
