- My introduction:
I have been teaching English for over 35 years and I am very excited with this system.
It makes learning language fun and practical!! You don’t memorize lists of words, you don’t memorize grammatical rules! You look at eye-catching pictures, while listening to idiomatic Japanese phrases, and then repeat the utterances together with the native Japanese speaker. The idea is that your brain automatically associates the situations described in the pictures to appropriate Japanese phrases, similar to how a baby learns to speak, so that when you need to speak Japanese, the right phrase with the correct pronunciation, rhythm and intonation, automatically comes out of your mouth.
Try it! And then try it when you visit Tokyo or Osaka or wherever you go on your next trip!!

- From the scientific viewpoint, I am deeply interested in the workings of this method.
There are four categories of voices, processed to connect to your memory easily with the addition of an enormous number of images chosen to enhance comprehension.
This carefully crafted combination places the Lip-sync method second to none and will, I believe, allow anyone to learn Japanese conversation
with ease.
Finally, I recognize this "Lip-sync" as the ultimate memorizing method.

- So, is this just another online language learning course just like all the others? Well I have to say no, really no. This is an entirely new approach, based on substantial research. Learning a language hasn’t been presented this way before. The problem for us adults, as we know all too well is that while it isn’t hard to remember a sentence after we have just heard it, trying to recall it perfectly an hour later, or longer after that becomes more and more difficult. This is because the sentence remains in our short-term memory and almost always none or only a little passes into our long-term memory. So what is wrong? Memories transfer into long-term storage easily in children but how to get adults to perform this trick has been difficult until recent research at Tokyo University’s linguistics department uncovered a mechanism to produce this transfer in adults. The process is remarkably easy and quite painless and doesn’t require any special text to study. Only listening and speaking required while looking at some thoughtfully chosen images. The system is cheap and readily accessible at any time, so if you are committed to acquiring new language it has to be worth a try.

- I've been teaching in Japan for 10 years and in my experience, the most difficult aspects of language for adult learners to master are often pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. With this system, you have an opportunity to focus completely on these aspects and better prepare yourself for a more stress-free communicative experience with native Japanese speakers in Japan or overseas. So give it a try!
