Introduction:

Japan is one of the world’s leading industrial powers and is remarkable for its economic growth since World War II, considering it has few natural resources. Japan is known for its people’s strong work ethic and the high level of cooperation between industry and government. More than 130 million people speak Japanese, making it the ninth most widely spoken language in the world.  Japanese language services have become extremely important in social and business settings.

The origin of Japanese is in considerable dispute amongst linguists. Evidence has been offered for a number of sources: Ural-Altaic, Polynesian, and Chinese among others. Of these, the Japanese are most widely believed to be connected to the Ural-Altaic family, which includes Turkish, Mongolian, Manchu, and Korean within its domain. Japanese has an extremely complicated writing system, consisting of two sets of phonetic syllabaries (with approximately 50 syllables in each) and thousands of Chinese characters called “kanji”. In this blog, we’ll discuss a few ways on how to learn Japanese in 3 months.

• Use the Best Apps and Resources 

There are so many apps out there that focus on daily lessons designed to fit a pace that the learner is comfortable with. Japanese-learning tools and apps allow you to study wherever you are. Make use of that commute or replace your morning newspaper for a month with these, instead. Apps like MultiBhashi, Fluentu, DuoLingo will help you achieve your goal.

• Find Native Speakers and Speak from Day One 

You need to find someone who you can talk to in Japanese, and speak from day one. This is the most important, productive language learning step you can take to reach fluency. Without actually speaking Japanese, you won’t get very far in your studies. Even if you can’t find a language exchange partner in your area, don’t let that stop you from speaking. There are many websites on which native speakers are available to talk to, use them.

• Learn the vocabulary & grammar 

Japanese particles are words that come after modified nouns, adjectives, verbs, and phrases in Japanese. These little words or sounds are an integral part of the Japanese sentence structure and indicate parts of speech, questions, exclamations, and much more. Japanese grammar forms or “verb forms” are used to indicate various types of past, present, and future tense. English also has verb forms, but our language is significantly different from Japanese so it may take some getting used to the Japanese verb forms.

• Immerse yourself in the language

You don’t need to move to Japan to learn Japanese. You do, however, have to surround yourself with it. The best way to do this for any language is to create a home immersion environment where you can’t help but be exposed to the language at every turn. While it can be hard to figure out how to do this at first. It gets easier once you know what resources to use and what to do. You can switch the language settings to Japanese on your phone. Start watching Japanese shows, movies, anime, documentaries, etc. Listen to Japanese podcasts, music, and radio stations.

There you have it! The best way to speak Japanese, right now. If you follow these steps, you’ll be having conversations in Japanese in no time. You’ll wow everyone with how fast you’ve picked up the “hardest” language! Keep a positive, open mindset that Japanese is easy and you can do this, and you will.
