Japan is raw. Straight up.
I enjoy the country, flaws and all.
There's a problem though.
The Japan that gets shown is almost infallible.
"The mystery island."
Sure, things are different there. But that's anywhere you go.
What I aim to do is bring the RAW (authentic and vulnerable) people and experiences I was fortunate enough to have for three years in Japan.
For three years, I got a wide perspective of the good and bad.
The Saba Tataki and the Goya.
Even so, I fell in love.
So much so, that I’ve set out on a life-long language journey to master Japanese. I mean really master it. Like native-master-it.
So, when I look for learning resources that could help me get there, I typically look for 3 main features.
1 – Is it made by Japanese people for Japanese people?
2 – Is it fun?
3 – Is there a way to measure my progress?
Most products I come across fail #1 immediately. #2 is also hard to come by. One thing I can give to the numerous premium language programs is their devotion to #3. Sadly, it’s not enough.
Considering this, I decided to make my own online course focused on mastering Japanese. Like native-master-it.
This is the break-down:
*Japanese creators will be interviewed in long-form conversation style.
*This video and audio content will be categorized into cultural boxes. Ex. Robots & AI, Art, Women, etc.
*The content will be available in a paid course that you get access to from the get.
To capture this video and audio content, I will use some gadgets:
-Google Pixel smartphone
-Macbook Air laptop
-Stabilizer
-Videomic me
Except, I don’t have those things.
So, I started a fundraiser to purchase these gadgets.

Smart, I know.
I will travel throughout Japan for 6 months to capture this content and make it available to you for free.
