Complete Japanese Course: Learn Japanese for Beginners

Linguae’s course begins with hiragana, early sentences and katakana before introducing kanji foundations and core grammar. The extensive sequence provides a longer route through beginner language material than a short conversational overview. Writing and sentence construction appear early so learners can connect symbols with meaningful use.

What you will learn

• Develop kana reading and writing
• Explore introductory kanji
• Build sentences using core grammar patterns

Who this suits

A suitable option for a complete beginner who wants a substantial course and can schedule ongoing review, writing and listening practice alongside the long video sequence.

Before you enroll

The provider requires no prior Japanese knowledge and lists about 53 hours and 46 minutes of video, updated September 2026. The length does not establish fluency or a fixed time to proficiency. English instruction supports learning Japanese; the completion certificate is not a recognized JLPT result or academic language credit.

Udemy offers paid purchase or subscription access depending on the current course and region. Paid teaching courses provide completion certificates under Udemy’s policy. Check current access terms and any separate software or material costs before enrolling.

Put it into practice

Create a small set of original sentences after each grammar section and revisit them a week later. Track whether you can read, explain and change the sentences rather than only recognize their translations.
