Want to be challenged in Japanese? Dive into the “Erin’s Challenge! I Can Speak Japanese” course, a dynamic and interactive way to develop your Japanese skills while exploring real-life conversations and cultural insights with the help of our very own Toshie Sensei.

“Erin’s Challenge! I Can Speak Japanese” Course

Course Level: Beginner to Lower Intermediate

“Erin’s Challenge!” is an engaging course designed for learners who have just started studying Japanese and want to develop their ability to use the language in real situations. This course is ideal for those who have some knowledge of Japanese but haven’t used it much, as well as for beginners who wish to learn step by step while watching engaging videos with explanations in English and other languages.

Rather than focusing on learning grammar and sentence patterns from scratch, this course helps learners increase what they can do in Japanese (their “Can-do” ability) by watching various real-life videos. Even those who have never studied Japanese before can gradually build their skills, while advanced learners can further enhance their language proficiency by watching authentic Japanese conversations.

Each lesson follows the story of Erin, a high school student learning Japanese, allowing students to pick up practical expressions naturally. With the guidance of Toshie Sensei, you will master conversational Japanese while gaining cultural insights that bring the language to life!

We are excited to have Toshie Sensei lead this course! With her vast experience teaching Japanese and English, she is dedicated to helping students build confidence in their Japanese-speaking abilities.

Schedule of Lessons:

Main Course: Every Sunday and Monday at 6:00 PM Philippine Time [19:00 Japan Time, 6:00 AM EST]
