Learn Japanese For Beginners With Natsuko

Yunome starts with hiragana and katakana before introducing greetings, numbers and Japanese currency. The course connects writing-system instruction with basic everyday communication and cultural context. Its section structure lets a beginner revisit the scripts while continuing to practise short expressions rather than waiting to know every character perfectly.

What you will learn

• Read and write introductory kana
• Use greetings and basic expressions
• Understand numbers and currency examples

Who this suits

Useful for absolute beginners who can follow English descriptions and want writing practice combined with everyday language and an introduction to Japanese cultural contexts.

Before you enroll

The listing requires no previous Japanese knowledge and contains about six hours and 50 minutes of video, updated September 2022. Language foundations remain useful, but verify time-sensitive travel or currency details separately. Course completion is evidence of study, not an official proficiency award or a guarantee of conversational independence.

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

Write a brief greeting exchange and practise saying numbers in a shopping example. Revisit the kana used in your sentences and identify which characters you can read without relying on romanization.
