Learn on YOUR own time, reach YOUR own goals, and use tools YOU have chosen
Master Japanese is not a textbook that will “teach” you Japanese: no book, course, or teacher can ever get a language into your head (this is not The Matrix).
Only YOU can acquire Japanese by getting enough exposure to (and enough practice using) the language. Fortunately, the modern learner has more chances than ever to do just that. The problem today is not a lack of resources, but an over-abundance. It can be hard to know where to start. That's where Master Japanese comes in.
The detailed guide is a navigation system that helps you negotiate the wild waters of independent language learning, saving you time and money while maximizing fun.

What the Readers Are Saying
Santiago Madrigal
If you decide to embark on the journey of mastering the Japanese language (or any other language for that matter), the most crucial trait you can develop to actually achieve this goal is to become an independent learner. No language course, no software, no textbook and no class will ever show you how to do this. Master Japanese is one of the very few language resources that shows you HOW to learn Japanese instead of trying to teach it to you. The guide is full-packed with tips, concrete steps, advice, suggestions, links and other resources that, if you actually follow and use them, will make your Japanese learning not only much more effective and efficient, but also actually FUN and enjoyable. And the Master Japanese Interviews with all those “language powerhouses” are, to say the least, enlightening. I LOVE Master Japanese and I love John’s work. Having experienced first hand how ineffective language classes and traditional language “learning” methods are, I’m certain that Master Japanese can be a great aid in your journey if you give it a try!
Crystal Anderson
Master Japanese is well written to say the least and quite humorous. I couldn’t put it down. I’ve always been afraid of learning a foreign language, maybe it’s because of fear of feeling stupid, but I’m not sure. Also, I’ve never had a desire to learn Japanese and that could stem from the misconception that it’s really hard. After reading through the guide, I’m actually considering getting more dedicated to languages.
Sabrina Hamar
Master Japanese is smart, fun, and readable (not things an ordinary person would think of a language learning guide). It is a useful and accessible guide to language learning that has helped me realize that learning Japanese is an achievable task even with my busy schedule. Getting a hold of the guide has finally pushed me to try learning Japanese myself, which I’ve wanted to do since high school but never thought was attainable.
Elohim Falcón
The book is well written, made me laugh quite a bit. It was pretty informative and is full of useful tips, many of those can be applied not only when you are learning Japanese, but also when learning any given language. One of the things I liked the most were the immersion tools developed along its pages and the best way to use them. It gives you an insight on Japanese, not on its grammar but on how you have to learn it, and does so being very specific. Finally, the most important thing here is that is harder to get bored applying this method (Of course you will need to be motivated!). I have advanced quite a lot since then too!
Joshua Owens
Not only is “Master Japanese: A Self-Guided Immersion for the Passionate Learner” well-written and entertaining, but also jam-packed with excellent advice on how to detour past the frills and trappings of dead-end language education and rapidly reach fluency. Second to living in Japan, taking heed of John’s words and applying them assiduously wherever you might be is perhaps the surest way to yield the results you’re hoping for.

Master Japanese stresses that the most important step in mastering a new language is immersion. Rather than splashing the language on, it’s better to soak in it for best retention; preferably with a slice of cucumber over your eyes. The goal is to surround yourself with language so that you can’t help but pick it up quickly, and most importantly,cheaply. Language learning doesn’t require expensive language systems sold in kiosks.

Who Was Master Japanese Created For?
If you nod your head at most of the following, the guide is for you:
- I want to learn to speak, read and write Japanese really well. Master Japanese provides you with detailed tips, tools and tech on how to speak, read and write Japanese like a pro.
- I have never learned any Japanese. This course does not require any previous Japanese study, providing step-by-step instructions from the very beginning. Consider yourself lucky as you will be able to bypass the years most of us (including this author) have wasted using traditional but highly ineffective methods.
- I have tried and failed to learn Japanese before. If you have studied Japanese in the past but failed to ever reach even a modicum of fluency, this course is for you, too. You are not stupid or lazy; you have just been using poor methods.
- I want to live and work in Japan. There are countless materials and courses available for “travel Japanese” and they are equally useless. They may show you how to say a few things, but they don’t equip you with the level of fluency needed to understand what is said back to you. Follow the tips in this guide, and you will be able to engage in real two-way communication.
- I want to really get to know the Japanese people and culture. Most foreigners who visit Japan, or even live in the country for many years, only see the tip of the iceberg. Being able to speak and read Japanese gives you scuba gear you need to go below the surface and see, understand and interact with the real Japan.
- I am passionate about languages. You have to really want to learn Japanese, or any language for that matter. And you have to enjoy the journey just as much as the destination (and in fact, there really is no “destination” in language learning as there will always be more to learn even for native speakers).
Why Should I Buy Master Japanese?
