Welcome to Real Nihongo.
Our mission is to help you learn authentic Japanese.
We founded this site to address a significant gap in the industry: the overwhelming presence of non-native speakers trying to teach Japanese.
Can you learn Japanese from a foreigner? Perhaps . .. but wouldn’t it be more accurate to learn a language from someone who is actually a ‘native’ speaker?.
That is exactly why we created RealNihongo.com.
We want you to learn real Japanese, the way local Japanese people speak it.
How do we achieve this?
- For starters, we are actually based in Japan.
- The founder is a native English speaker, and his partner is from Japan.
So you get the BEST of both worlds. Native English / Native Japanese.
A simple yet powerful concept.
That’s why our translator scored a very high score when tested by Native English / Native Japanese speakers. Which in itself is a rare combination.
At Real Nihongo, we believe in the importance of learning from native speakers. We provide insights and nuances that you just can’t get from non-native speakers. Especially their textbooks.
Whether it’s understanding colloquial expressions, cultural context, or the subtle tones and inflections, we ensure you gain a deep and useful knowledge of Japanese.
Join us at Real Nihongo and experience the richness of learning Japanese as it is truly spoken.
Just like locals.
Is there any other way?
