Frequently Asked Questions
How is this course different from the regular courses for non-Japanese speakers?
The first two videos courses focus only on the types of mistakes that Japanese speakers make. Courses 3 (Rhythm and Intonation) and Course 4 (How Americans Really Talk) are exactly the same as the ones for non-Japanese because those topics are more universal and they are needed by all non-native speakers of English.
Why did you make this video specifically for Japanese people?
I have had many Japanese students who struggle with English pronunciation. I have worked with Japanese actors and business people who live in Los Angeles. They encouraged me to make these courses because there isn’t much good instruction available for the specific types of mistakes that Japanese students make.
When does the course start and finish?
The course starts now and never ends! It is a completely self-paced online course – you decide when you start and when you finish.
How long do I have access to the course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you have unlimited access to this course for as long as you like – across any and all devices you own.
Are these lessons available on your YouTube channel?
Most of the lessons are only available on this online course platform.. These are specific and detailed lessons that follow a sequence of topics in the order that you need to learn them.
Can I watch the videos on my mobile phone?
Yes. You can watch them on any device – smart phone, tablet or computer.
What level of English do I need to have?
Most of our students are advanced learners of English, but the English spoken in the videos is simple enough so that if you are intermediate or a high beginner, you will definitely understand the explanations.
