Learn Japanese language and culture - for free!

Written by Richard Durrance on 08 Feb 2023



Are you less lazy than me? Good! Then the Japan Foundation have free self-learning course to learn to speak Japanese, better learn the culture, and even how to greet people as if you were a manga or anime character.

Interested? Good.  Then explore more here... and not just in English.

As the site says...

Minato is a Japanese language learning platform provided by the Japan Foundation. Minato means "port". Here at Minato, a place to learn and meet other like-minded people, we invite you to expand your understanding and knowledge of Japan, Japanese people, and the Japanese language.

About Richard Durrance

Long-time anime dilettante and general lover of cinema. Obsessive re-watcher of 'stuff'. Has issues with dubs. Will go off on tangents about other things that no one else cares about but is sadly passionate about. (Also, parentheses come as standard.) Looks curiously like Jo Shishido, hamster cheeks and all.
