Master Japanese: Self-Guided Immersion for the Passionate Learner shares all the tips, tools, and tech I have learned over the last decade learning and teaching languages, living and working around the world, meeting thousands of language learners, and interviewing world renowned language experts, native speakers, and researchers.
The guide shows you exactly how to learn Nihongo in the quickest, cheapest and most enjoyable way possible, drawing on the latest linguistic research, breakthroughs in brain science, advances in consumer technology and media distribution, and my first-hand experience on what works and what doesn’t.
When will it be available?
UPDATE: I’ve decided to push the release date back to December 20, 2010 to ensure that the guide gets a good scrubbing by better eyes and bigger brains than mine. And since it will be a digital download, that still gives you plenty of time to buy it before Christmas. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Come back to this page then to buy the guide, or better yet, join the Foreign Language Mastery newsletter to receive a 25% discount off the retail price. (The next edition of the monthly newsletter will include a coupon code.)

Why Should I Buy the Guide?
Understand, Speak, Read & Write Japanese Like a Ninja (or at least really, really well)
Master Japanese provides practical, step-by-step tips on how to learn all four components of Japanese: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Unlike traditional approaches which are as ineffective as they are painful, Master Japanese shows you the fast, fun, and natural way to learn Japanese. In record time, you will be able to understand anime, read manga, live and work in Japan, and strike up a conversation with that hotty sitting next to you…
Learn How to Learn the Fun and Effective Way
Learning Japanese can be intimidating in the beginning. You constantly hear how difficult it is, how different it is from English, and how many kanji you have to memorize. Fortunately, Japanese isn’t nearly as hard as you might imagine if you go about it in the way detailed in Master Japanese. Not only will you make progress more quickly than poor saps wasting away in college classes, unlike them, you will actually enjoy the process.
Mad Japanese Skillz: The Perfect Christmas Gift
Looking for that special little something for the Japanophile, language learner, anime addict, ninja trainee, or international spy in your life? Give them what they’ve always wanted and never achieved: the ability to actually understand and speak Japanese.
60-Day Money Back Guarantee
I am very confident that you will enjoy the guide and make massive strides in your journey toward fluency in written and spoken Japanese. But if, after going through the guide and video tutorials, you find that Master Japanese isn’t right for you, just send me an email and I will issue a full refund, no questions asked.
