I self studied for 20 years but I still couldn’t really speakĀ Japanese.

This felt like a brick wall separating me from Japanese speakers.

This course is different because it allows the student to actually use the language from the beginning, even with limited vocabulary.

Now I am able to respond with ease. This was the first time in years that I was able to do this with confidence!

I’ve learned more Japanese in a month with Arai Academy than I did in 20 years of self-study!
