If you learn high-frequency verbs step by step, Japanese starts opening up surprisingly fast. This set adds daily routine, study, and movement verbs: 🌅 Set 4 起きます — wake up 寝ます — sleep 帰ります — go home 📚 Set 5 書きます — write 勉強します — study 教えます — teach 🚶 Set 6 歩きます — walk 走ります — run 入ります — enter That’s 18 essential verbs in this series already. Learn enough common verbs and everyday Japanese starts to feel much more understandable. Try making a sentence below using one of them ⬇️ Example: 毎日日本語を勉強します。 Mainichi nihongo o benkyō shimasu. I study Japanese every day. Are you making flashcards of these? Ganbatte kudasai! Joe Sensei. P.S Our weekly live chat is on this Sunday (Aussie time).

It is said that if you learn 300 verbs you can understand 90% of daily conversations. Step by step, master these 300. 3 a day for 100 days? You'd be proficient in just over 3 months. I'd recommend making flashcards and reviewing them each day. Day 1 would take 10 minutes. Day 100 would take longer but it would be worth it to gain such a strong understanding of the language. Do you accept the challenge and choose to become proficient in Japanese? Join the 300!!
