Waseda University has designed an online course to help you practice pronunciation.
Have you ever studied Japanese very hard but when you came to use it, you couldn’t get your message across?
Using our experience and expertise as an institution noted for Japanese language education, the course will cover pronunciation, one of the most challenging aspects for non-native speakers of Japanese. Professor Takako Toda of the Graduate School of Japanese Applied Linguistics, who will instruct the course, has long studied the difficulties of students learning Japanese. She has published a book entitled “Japanese Pronunciation Lesson for Communication,” also available in Chinese and Korean, and the sequel “Japanese Pronunciation Lesson through Shadowing.” Both publications are highly regarded and continue to be reprinted.
Through this online course, you can:
- Study at Your Own Pace
- Enjoy Shadowing
This course is starting TODAY!
