Make you fluent.
You are a beginner or intermediate level. You have tried other resources that didn’t work. You heard something positive about us, and thought you’d give us a try. Your expectations are low. But maybe… just maybe… Jalup will be the one.
99% of you want to enjoy something you love that is from Japan. That something is almost always anime, manga, or video games. This is powerful motivation that needs to be embraced.
You’ve bought textbooks and apps. You’ve read and asked for advice on forums. You’ve gotten help from from tutors, classes, and Japanese people. You’ve tried transitioning to enjoy real Japanese. You are frustrated and fed up.
One method
One app
One purpose
Make you fluent so you can enjoy anime, manga and video games.
We could bore you with the recipe to our secret sauce
The recipe is irrelevant. All you need to know is:
Jalup is not a textbook. It is not a tutor. It is not a reader. It is not boredom disguised as fun.
Jalup is fluency. It is the full replacement for “everything else” that has failed you before.
“Jalup is to traditional Japanese learning methods what World of Warcraft was to Everquest. You’ve removed so much tedium, frustration, and general BS from the process and made it vastly easier to focus on the fun.”
“I have been trapped in an epic start/stop struggle of learning Japanese for over 20 years. Jalup has changed everything. I have never experienced this kind of sustained motivation and palpable progress. For once, attaining fluency doesn’t feel like a fruitless dream.”
“I strongly feel that you have made Japanese learning simultaneously enthralling and totally manageable with your posts and products. I’m not the only one who thinks that. By a long shot. You are doing something very right.”
Level 1
Learn how to read, write, and pronounce the kana (hiragana and katakana). These are the two major Japanese alphabets.
Level 2
Learn all the important vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structures, creating a powerful foundation for your Japanese ability that allows you to drop the English.
Level 3*
Learn the meanings of all the kanji. These are the thousands of picture-like symbols that are used in all written Japanese, that really bring the language to life.
Level 4
Learn Japanese through Japanese. All definitions and explanations are in Japanese, created from the words you already know. Challenging? Yes. Effective? YES!
Level 5
Learn more Japanese through Japanese. Expand on your vocabulary and grammar, as you gain a deeper understanding of how the language really works.
*Level 3 (Kanji Kingdom) can be done out of order.
