Free Japanese Lesson Materials for Complete Beginners

This page shares the presentation slides that I made and used myself to teach Japanese to complete beginners. You may use the slides to start learning Japanese with zero knowledge, or to review basic grammar rules that you studied ages ago and forgot. You are also welcome to use those slides to teach Japanese to someone, so long as you cite and mention this website. (All rights reserved).

(If you’re keen to learn interesting Japanese idioms/slang in slides, see this page.)

Click the titles below to browse the slides. Each section should roughly correspond to a 30-60 min class. (The slides for 10 classes are to be uploaded)

(Best viewed on a tablet/PC, but viewable on a mobile phone as well)
