Hello,

Whether you've got a business trip coming up, you're visiting Japan soon, or you just want to expand your horizons, this might be the most important letter you read all year! I know that's a bold statement, but Japanese is a very proud culture and if you're going to do this, it's important that you get it right! And you won't learn to speak, read, and write Japanese correctly if it's not easy and you're not having fun.

That's why we at Innovative Language Learning have developed Gengo Japanese. It's a revolutionary new system to get you up-to-speed in a hurry with easy and fun lessons that even a child could use. But you'll learn everything you need to know to speak fluent, correct Japanese. Rest assured, if you want to read, write, and speak Japanese FLUENTLY Fast, you've come to the right place!

My name is Peter Galante and I'm the president of Innovative Language Learning, LLC.  We've learned over the years that there are 3 fundamental requirements to mastering a new language.

Fundamental Requirement #1:  A sincere desire to learn.  You must really want to do this in order to succeed.  If you're not really excited about learning Japanese, you'll definitely learn plenty from Gengo Japanese, but it won't really become a part of your cognitive abilities.

Fundamental Requirement #2:  You must make a commitment to your studies.  Even though this is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to learn Japanese, learning the language still does require a commitment on your part.  No matter how easy we've made it, not doing it would still be easier.  But, if you commit to taking your lessons, you'll be reading, writing, and speaking fluent Japanese in no time at all!

Fundamental Requirement #3:  You need to be provided with easy and fun lessons that are accurate and GUARANTEED to teach you correct Japanese vocabulary, pronunciation, characters, and socially appropriate verbiage in order to succeed.  So, we've developed a simple formula that has people from all walks of life learning Japanese with EASE …

= Fluency Fast!

One of the first questions I always get from new students is, "How long will it take me to become fluent in Japanese?"  So let's address that first and foremost.  I wish I could simply promise a very specific timeframe, but honestly, it's different for everyone. 

For instance, if you start today and spend the whole day doing nothing but taking lessons … you could be speaking nearly fluently in a week or two!  It really does depend on how often you engage in the process.

I'm convinced though that if you engage in this revolutionary teaching system and listen to just one lesson a day (not counting weekends), you'll be an absolute EXPERT within three month's time.

No matter why you've chosen to learn Japanese …
Don't Settle For Any Program That Is Boring And Expensive.

There is NO reason to settle for outdated learning methods and materials. This message is strictly for people who want to learn Japanese FAST with a program that fits your schedule and without spending a lot of money. Sound too good to be true?  I've been a teacher for many years, and I've met hundreds of people just like you, people who are anxious to speak fluent Japanese.  Many of these people had tried numerous programs and classes that resulted only in frustration and expense.  I know. I was one of them! If you're in the same situation, you're probably confused about the best way to learn Japanese, and I'm sure you'd like to find a fast, easy method.

Get Ready to LOVE Learning Japanese.
You'll Never Feel Embarrassed About Your Japanese Speaking Skills Again.

There's no reason to feel like your Japanese doesn't stack up, and this program proves it.   If you've ever felt the frustration of being misunderstood when you speak Japanese, you know how hard it can be. Well, forget all of that, and scream…BANZAI!!!

WITHIN WEEKS you'll be a master of:

Conversational Japanese:  You'll truly enjoy Japan's colorful culture and society.  You'll make new friends and experience life in Japan … with NO TRANSLATION BOOKS!

Survival Japanese:  NEVER be stranded, unable to find a restroom or communicate well enough to get from point A to point B when you're in Japan.  You'll learn everything you need to SURVIVE during a visit.

Business Japanese:  Don't hold back anymore as you negotiate with Japanese business partners or prospects.  You'll possess the technical vocabulary and speaking fluency to gain their respect (which is, as you may know, huge in Japanese society).

Academic Japanese:  Feel CONFIDENT in and proud of your Japanese speaking skills.  Not only will you speak Japanese just like a native, you can even attend Japanese schools!

My mission as a teacher has always been to provide my students with new, engaging and effective ways to enhance their studies. I don't believe in dry academic methods. I'm sure you agree that learning MUST be fun and pleasant.   The old teacher-student style is surely valuable, but in today's digital world, there are millions of opportunities for a committed person to be in charge of his or her own learning path.

This Opportunity Is Clearly The BEST Option
For Anyone Willing To Take Control Of His or Her Japanese Learning.

Over the years, we at Innovative Language Learning, LLC have been working hard to develop the best Japanese language learning program available. We've made several attempts, and through trial and error, we've finally developed the ultimate way to master Japanese like a native speaker!

The passion, dedication and competence poured into this masterpiece learning program are the results of years of complete engagement by certified teachers, talented voice actors, American and Japanese bi-lingual and bi-cultural professionals, and tens of thousands of our students. Surprised by the last one? You shouldn't be. After all, who knows what they want better than the learners? In fact, many of the great features in the program were requests by our demanding students.

Important Note:  Japanese is one of the most challenging languages to learn because it does not just use one single alphabet.  The modern Japanese writing system uses three main scripts:

• Kanji, ideographs from Chinese characters
• Hiragana, a set of symbols that approximate syllables that make up words, and
• Katakana, used for foreign borrowings and other sounds.

 (Source:  Wikipedia)  But, Gengo Japanese makes learning the modern Japanese writing system easy and fun! …

P.S.  Hey, the proof is in the pudding.  Don't take my word for it.  Just read what our students have to say…

"I just wanted to say thanks for an amazing resource!  I've been listening to the podcast for about a year.  I have used various other methods in learning Japanese: classes, books, CDs, friends, TV shows.  Japanesepod101 is absolutely outstanding!  I have just recently checked out the online resources and I am thoroughly impressed.  I signed up for a one month premium subscription.  I'm looking forward to exploring the Learning Center.

Anyway, my work involves health information collection, analysis, and dissemination.  Japanesepod101 is an outstanding user experience with effective and intuitive content presentation across varied methods of communication, engaging numerous learning paradigms.

Enough buzzwords out of me.  You all are great!  Doumo arigatou gozaimashita"

"I just purchased a premium membership to Japanesepod101.com, and I must say the price of the free content alone would have been more than worth the subscription. I have spent the last 9 months, and spent over $1000 dollars on various textbooks, audio programs and software, The first 30 audio lessons alone cost over $200. I'm embarrassed to say I have wasted so much time before I found you guys. I am by no means an advanced student, and there are so many holes in my learning that I am finding myself in the beginners section.
 
I would just like to thank you guys for putting together such a great website. You just replaced ten bookmarked sites and a whole lot of hassle. I'll definitely be extolling the virtues of your product to my fellow language learners. I'm living in a northern Canada, in a small town that has a very large tourism industry due to Japanese tourists coming to see the Aurora Borealis. Sadly it's still a small enough town where Japanese classes are not available. You have really saved me from going insane, You've made the lessons interesting in and of themselves, and I can't thank you enough for that."

"My name is Chris and I am both a Japanese language student as well as a Masters of Teaching English as a Second Language student at the University of Illinois.  I found you about 3 weeks ago through my i-pod.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that every day I thoroughly enjoy your program and love all the work that you do.  Your program has taught so very much is such a short period of time and I just wanted to say "Doumo Arigatou Gozaimasu" to all of you.  Every morning I get up and listen to your program and I do the same in the evening.  Since I have had the experience of living in Osaka for about 1.5 years as a student at Kansai Gaidai University from 2001-2002 and worked at the U.S. Consulate there at the same time as an intern for the U.S. Department of Commerce, my Japanese is at an "Advanced Intermediate" level.  Therefore, I especially enjoy your "Upper Intermediate" lessons and Blogs.  I just can't get enough of them!  It is so hard to find Japanese programs at the level that you offer and, so, again I say thank you for making the effort to make a program that is for not only beginners but also intermediate to advanced level students.  So, again, thank you for all that you do.  Please keep it up!  Ganbatte kudasai!"
