Yes, you really can speak Japanese
 
if you have 10 minutes to spare each day.

The idea of course is to have a well
 
planned out learning system that only
 
requires you to set aside 10 minutes
 
each day for learning Japanese.

The key to learning Japanese
 
is really quite simple. If I were
 
to summarize it, it would be....

L.A.R. (Learn, Apply and Repeat)

One of the biggest mistakes
 
most beginner Japanese learners
 
face is to Apply and Repeat what
 
they had studied before.

What's the point of learning new
 
phrases and vocabularies only
 
to forget about them later?
 
It's pointless right?

Imagine that you're learning a
 
list of 20 new Japanese words.
 
Without apply and repeating
 
that list of 20 Japanese words,
 
your chances of retaining them
 
would be around a mere 10 percent.

In other words, that's only 2 words.
 
Without applying and repeating
 
that word list, you continue
 
to learn more new words. Again,
 
everytime you learn a new list,
 
you're only able to remember
 
2 words. But that's not all...

The more Japanese words
 
you learn, the more confused
 
and harder you will find Japanese is.
 
Indeed, you will start realizing
 
that even if you kinda know what's
 
the meaning of that Japanese
 
word, you have no idea how to use it.

That's why the Apply and Repeat
 
part play such a vital role in
 
learning Japanese effectively.

Forcing yourself unnaturally and
 
unwillingly to memorize Japanese
 
words can only do you more harm
 
in the long run. Learning Japanese
 
without a proper plan is like
 
shooting an arrow without a target
 
in mind.

If you're an absolute Japanese
 
beginner who want to impress your
 
friends with spoken Japanese, here are
 
3 simple Japanese words or phrases
 
that you can use on your friends
 
to impress them.

Konnichiwa (pronounced as Kone niche jee waa).
 
This is something similar to "Hi" and "Hello". You
 
can say this to your friend whenever you meet him.
 
Just think of it as a form of greeting.

Sumimasen (pronounced as Sue mee maa cent).
 
This is the equivalent of "I'm sorry" or "my apology".
 
So the next time you're late on a date or a meeting,
 
just say sumimasen.

Sugoi (pronounced as Sue go it - without the t).
 
Sugoi means cool, excellent or awesome. When
 
you want to give someone a compliment, try
 
saying sugoi!

When you meet someone - say "Konnichiwa!"
 
When you hurt someone - say "Sumimasen!"
 
When someone kiss you - say "Sugoi!"

Can you see the beauty behind the
 
simple but powerful L.A.R. system?
 
Learn, Apply and Repeat!

The more you learn, you more you need
 
to apply and repeat. The more you reinforce
 
what you've learned (by applying and repetition),
 
the better your Japanese will be. The
 
secret key to learning Japanese is to have
 
a simple and workable plan that you must
 
consistently stick to it no matter what.

By applying the L.A.R. system, 
 
there's simply no reason why
 
you can't remember and master those 3
 
Japanese words, "Konnichiwa", "Sumimasen",
 
and "Sugoi" easily, today!
