LEARN JAPANESE FOR FREE

If you are moving to a different country, there are lots of things to consider. You must be prepared mentally, physically, and emotionally. However, if you are moving to a country that you don’t speak the language, it can be a lot challenging. Not speaking the language of the country, you are moving to can add a lot of unnecessary stress to you.

This is definitely true especially for people who just moved to Japan. Learning Japanese is no easy especially for an adult. On top of speaking, you must also learn the writing method of Japanese. Enrolling in language schools can cost you a lot of money or even just booking an online course.

Luckily, with all the free online materials available, it is easier now to learn another language without hurting the bank. For interested people, you can use apps like HELLOTALK and set your target language inside the app. It is free of charge and now they offer a voiceroom where people can join and practice speaking with native speakers. Just note that if you are not a VIP member, your participation hours are limited to 2 hours only.

Next is joining language café if you prefer face to face learning. Some language cafés only charges 1,100 yen to join. You can check WE LEARN COMMUNITY who usually hold meet ups in Akihabara for Japanese and English Exchange.

Lastly, don’t forget to check your local city hall for free language courses. There are volunteers who assists people who just came to Japan and teaches them basic Japanese needed to survive daily life in Japan. Here is the link where you can check the available classes in your area.
