Japan is raw. Straight up.

I enjoy the country, flaws and all.

There's a problem though.

The Japan that gets shown is almost infallible.

"The mystery island."

Sure, things are different there. But that's anywhere you go.

What I aim to do is bring the RAW (authentic and vulnerable) people and experiences I was fortunate enough to have for three years in Japan.

For three years, I got a wide perspective of the good and bad.

The Saba Tataki and the Goya.

Even so, I fell in love.

So much so, that I’ve set out on a life-long language journey to master Japanese. I mean really master it. Like native-master-it.

So, when I look for learning resources that could help me get there, I typically look for 3 main features.

1 – Is it made by Japanese people for Japanese people?

2 – Is it fun?

3 – Is there a way to measure my progress?

Most products I come across fail #1 immediately. #2 is also hard to come by. One thing I can give to the numerous premium language programs is their devotion to #3. Sadly, it’s not enough.

Considering this, I decided to make my own online course focused on mastering Japanese. Like native-master-it.

This is the break-down:

*Japanese creators will be interviewed in long-form conversation style.

*This video and audio content will be categorized into cultural boxes. Ex. Robots & AI, Art, Women, etc.

*The content will be available in a paid course that you get access to from the get.

To capture this video and audio content, I will use some gadgets:

-Google Pixel smartphone

-Macbook Air laptop

-Stabilizer

-Videomic me

Except, I don’t have those things.

So, I started a fundraiser to purchase these gadgets.

Smart, I know.

I will travel throughout Japan for 6 months to capture this content and make it available to you for free.
