Improve Your Japanese Speaking Skills in 90 days
Are you learning Japanese and finding it challenging to boost your speaking skills? Just like my JLPT courses, this speaking course is designed with a “daily self-training + teacher support” model. It allows you to practice speaking at your own pace, even when you don’t have time for a formal session with a teacher. The key to rapidly improving your speaking skills is consistency – practicing a little each day is far more effective than cramming a lot into sporadic sessions.
