Learn Japanese With Takanori Sensei! - an exclusive interview with learn-japanese-kanji-hiragana-katakana.com
On October 05, 2007 in Interviews
TodayI have a real treat for anyone wanting to learn Japanese, we are talking to Takanori-sensei from learn-japanese-kanji-hiragana-katakana.com about his site and video lessons!
I picked Takanori to interview (as promised) beacuse he has a number of Japanese lessons posted and freely accessible on youtube, which I think is awesome (I love free 
)
In this interview I plan to introduce you to some of those resources and, better yet, give you some exclusive insight into Takanori-sensei’s goal to help you really communicate in Japanese.
So everybody please welcome Takanori *hakushu*
Daily J: What motivated you to start your site? Also what motivated you to want to start teaching/teaching on the internet?
Takanori: Because I found out that there are a lot of people who want to learn Japanese, but things you learn at a normal school is only grammartical Japanese language.
I want to teach the Japanese language for real communication. So, they can speak Japanese.
When I was in Australia to learn English, it was very differentfrom the English lesson in Japan.
Normally, school focus on how to write, not relaly how to speak.
But, I think learning to speak is more important.
That’s why I provide the Japanese video lesson.
Daily J: What part of running a site and teaching online is the most fun for you?
Takanori: When a lot of people send us the comments.
Daily J: What isunique about your site and how can people best benefit from it?
Takanori: People can learn the Japanese language for real communication, rather than just learning the Japanese grammar part.
Also, they can watch our Japanese language video at home, as if they are learning Japanese at school!
Isn’t itamazing the way the internet is changing the way we learn?! Ifyoutube had arrived just a bit sooner Icould have ditched class andlearnt Japanese at home .
Thank you Takanori for the interview.
And thank you allfor reading. Be sure to check out sensei’s lessons on podomatic and youtube.
And then hurry back tomorrow for more interviews.
Have a great day!
