Start Up in Roma-ji
✨ Feature: Overcome Your Japanese Learning Anxiety!
🎌 StartUp (Romaji Focus) Course
Eliminate the “Character Wall” and Gain Confidence to Speak Faster!
Do you hold a passion for learning Japanese, but hesitate when you see the complex writing systems?
C.C.Rainbow’s StartUp (Romaji Focus) Course is the most welcoming entrance to Japanese studies, developed for all speakers of the Roman alphabet. By setting aside the stress of memorizing characters initially, you can focus on the core of conversation and grammar, powerfully launching your studies.
💡 Feature Highlights: Why Start with Romaji?
1. Achieve Immediate Conversational Output
The biggest hurdle for beginners is the characters. This course temporarily removes that barrier, allowing you to focus your energy entirely on speaking.
-
Instant Conversation Practice: You can immediately read phrases written in Romaji and begin simple dialogues with the instructor.
-
Sustained Motivation: Gaining the early success of “I was understood!” dramatically boosts motivation, leading to greater enthusiasm for character study later on.
2. Accurate Acquisition of Sound and Rhythm
Since you aren’t focused on characters, your instructor dedicates full attention to your pronunciation and intonation. Sound is critical in Japanese.
-
Thorough Pronunciation Correction: We meticulously coach you on the Japanese mora (beat) rhythm, vowels, and consonants. By building correct “sound habits” early, you avoid the difficult task of correcting pronunciation later.
-
Native Conversational Patterns: Beyond simple words, you internalize the natural rhythm of questions and responses, aided by the simplicity of Romaji notation.
3. C.C.Rainbow’s Unique, Seamless Transition Program
This course is designed not just to teach in Romaji, but to guide you through a successful transition to full script learning.
