In this post we’ll look at the easy ways and hard ways of learning to speak Japanese.

When you first decide to learn another language, I bet the first thing you think about is grabbing a textbook. This is probably the worst decision you could make.

Starting from textbook is the usual surefire way to not learning a language. Learning from a textbook is a de-motivating, boring and slow process.

No wonder most people give up.

I’m going to share something a bit crazy with you…

What if language was better learned in context… What is commuication was more important than grammar… What if getting the message across was more important than perfect pronunciation…

The easy way to become conversational in a language is to understand lots of vocabulary. The textbook and classes will spend hours drilling grammar into you… But what good is grammar if you don’t have the vocabulary to use it?

Let’s try this: Instead of worrying about grammar, let’s concentrate on learning lots of Japanese words fast, so you can understand what’s going in TV shows, and in conversations. So you can start to communicate what you want.

We can learn words fast, like this.

Imagine you want to learn the Japanese word for sheep.

The Japanese word for sheep is hitsuji. Pronounced hit – soo – gee.

We will create an association between sheep and an English phrase that will force your mind to remember the Japanese word.

You must close you eyes and vividly imagine the following phrase for 10 seconds:

“Imagine, as we are driving through a field, a sheep hits our jeep”

Doing that simple exercise for 10 seconds, will lock the Japanese word for sheep (hitsuji) into your mind forever.

Test yourself tomorrow, I bet you remember!

Most people study Japanese using repetitive, boring methods. Learning Japanese doesn’t need to be boring.

You can learn any Japanese quickly. Simply create an association or link between the Japanese word and something you already know in English.

Let’s take the word for “meet”. The Japanese word for meet is “au”. It is pronounced “ow” as in “owch! that hurts!”

To remember any word in 10 seconds flat you need follow this simple 2 step process:

• Link the word to something you already know in English
• Think about the link for 10 seconds

Let’s see how easy it can be to memorize Japanese words:

• “au” sounds similar to “owl” so let’s link it with owls. Imagine two owls meeting for the first time
• Close your eyes and imagine “two owls meeting for the first time” for 10 seconds

Easy peasey! Now you’ll always remember that the Japanese word for meet is “au”.
