What language learners have said about my immersion books
Retired Technical Writer
“Master Japanese is the most helpful book I’ve found in my 2+ year effort to learn Japanese. This is a very comprehensive book.
John provides learners with helpful strategies to approach the learning process, which can be overwhelming unless you can figure out how to make sustainable progress.”
Sales Associate
"I now work in the sales department of a Japanese company. The only reason why I got the job was because they were very impressed by my Japanese level for someone who recently started learning the language.
It’s all thanks to your book Master Japanese. Thank you for your great work and kindness."
Translator
"Master Japanese is packed with tips, concrete steps, advice, suggestions, links, and other resources that, if you actually follow and use them, will make your Japanese learning not only much more effective and efficient, but also actually FUN and enjoyable.
I LOVE Master Japanese and I love John’s work."
