JAPANESE VOCABULARY AND MORE

In the course, you will find additional elements. They are here to help you gain active knowledge of Japanese words and expressions much faster, thanks to which you will be able to use them efficiently and effectively in practice. These include:

transcript of entries and examples in Japanese hiragana with kanji and Latin phonetic transcription (romaji),
definitions in Japanese
different senses of a given headword,
synonyms and antonyms,
information on parts of speech.

Most headwords also include examples of use in the form of popular sentences and phrases useful in everyday communication. They are translated, partly with the help of machine translation, which makes it easier for you to understand the context of the given entry.

If you are especially interested in Japanese words with pronunciation, you will surely enjoy the features such as recordings by native speakers, phonetic transcriptions and the STT (Speech Recognition) function, which were all added to help you overcome your fear of speaking Japanese. Recordings and transcriptions allow you to listen to, and learn the correct pronunciation of a given word or phrase. The STT function, in turn, encourages you to say the words included in the course out loud, which reduces the stress of using them later, in practice.

* If you are a beginner, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with the Japanese writing system before starting the course.
