When you first start learning Japanese, verbs seem pretty easy…
Japanese verbs are not like verbs in Spanish, French or even English, after all.
- You don’t have to worry about different conjugations for every person (e.g. I go, but he goes)
- The present and future tense are the SAME in Japanese
- Mastering the Japanese past tense is dead easy!
But as your Japanese level improves, it quickly becomes apparent that Japanese verbs are NOT as simple as they first seemed.
Here's the truth:
There's actually a lot going on with Japanese verbs!
Especially when they’re used in complex verbal expressions that require you to choose which particles and verb endings to use.
The benefit of mastering this crucial aspect of Japanese are BIG:
- The ability to use complex grammatical structures with confidence and express almost anything you want in clear and confident Japanese
But when your brain is still struggling to untangle the verbal quagmire, those benefits seem like pie in the sky.
It’s enough to make you throw in the towel and give up on your Japanese dreams.
But look...
You’re not alone!
In fact, Japanese learners from Tokyo to Timbuktu have a hard time getting to grips with verbal expressions in Japanese.
- Identifying Type I, Type II and Type III verbs and remembering the difference between them, so you can conjugate them correctly
- Deciding if a verb is transitive or intransitive so you can choose the correct particle to use with it
- And translating everything in your head before you speak because these verbal expressions feel so unnatural to you
And doing all of that while face-to-face with a native Japanese speaker!
It's easy to feel like you'll never truly get your head around Japanese verbal expressions. It's just one of those things you'll have to live with, right?
Well, not so fast...
Help is at hand!
I’ve created a unique 30-day challenge, "Victorious Verbal Expressions", that will help you learn and internalise Japanese verbal expressions, so you can express yourself confidently and correctly in conversation with native Japanese speakers.
No more boring grammar textbooks.
No more memorising rules.
And most importantly...
No more frustrating verb mistakes when you chat with your Japanese-speaking friends...
Introducing the March Challenge:
"Victorious Verbal Expressions"
With…
Here’s how the challenge works.
The challenge is based on an exciting original story in Japanese that develops over the 30 days of the challenge.
This is a brand new story, written exclusively for this 30-Day Challenge.
We’ve created the story to be jam-packed with examples of Japanese verbal expressions, transitive and intransitive verbs and much more!
Every day, you’ll receive one new chapter of the story, along with a short video lesson and simple exercises to help you understand how Japanese verbal expressions work in the story.
It'll take you about 15 minutes each day.
All you have to do is show up every day…
Over the course of the month, the daily immersion will help you absorb the verbal expressions naturally, until you "just know" instinctively how they work.
The result is that you'll be able to speak and understand Japanese confidently, use the correct verb endings and choose the right particle every time.
You'll use Japanese verbs freely and fluently, because...
1) You'll instinctively know which verbs to use...
2) The correct verb endings and particles you need will already be where you need them - on the tip of your tongue!Here's What's Included...
The concept is beautifully simple!
Every day, for 30 days, you’ll get:
- One 250-word chapter of our Japanese story (jam-packed with examples of essential Japanese verbal expressions in context)
- The written story plus audio book (so you can read or listen...wherever you are!)
- An insightful daily video lesson with our instructor, Jeremy. (He'll explain the different verbal expressions used in the story)
- A short daily practice exercise (to help you remember what you’ve learned)
- Discussion with dozens of fellow challengers in our interactive Facebook group (so you can discuss the story and get answers to questions).
We’ve carefully structured the entire 30 days, so all you have to do is turn up and get stuck in!
