GUIDE: Learn These Japanese Words & You WILL Become Fluent

If you want to speak more Japanese, you’ll need to know more Japanese words. It’s as simple as that.

But, with thousands and thousands of words within the language, you’re already thinking, “ that’s not so simple.” And you’re not wrong.

The good news?

You don’t have to learn ALL of the words in Japanese.

The trick is…

you just have to focus on a special set of words. And if you know 100 of these special basic Japanese words, you’ll understand over HALF of everyday Japanese.

These special words are called… “core words.”

What are core words exactly?

And how can you learn these words FAST? Keep reading. You’ll also get a basic Japanese words PDF eBook as a FREE gift below.

If you want to master the Japanese language and become fluent, you must learn these words first.

And you need this ebook to learn them all.

This eBook is a MUST-HAVE for all Japanese learning beginners!

Why You Learn Japanese Faster with Core Words

What are core words?

Core words are a special set of common Japanese words native speakers use daily. And no, not words like “telescope,” “zebra,” or “economics.”

If you know just 100 of these core words, you know 60% of the words that come up in daily conversations. Not bad, right?

If you know 300? That number goes up to 80%.

So imagine understanding 80% of everyday Japanese. You’d be able to have basic conversations with Japanese speakers. You’d be able to get around the country. And you’d be speaking much more Japanese than you are now.

Core words are THE secret to learning Japanese vocabulary faster.

Faster than if you were to try to learn ALL the words. Learning all the words would take years. Even native speakers don’t know and don’t need to know them all.
