What Should I Know About This Dive?
Japanese is the ninth most widely spoken language in the world. Many people learn it as a second language to work and do business in Japan, or for their love and passion for Japanese anime and music. Japan is one of the leading countries in advanced technology with high-speed trains, robotic servers and hotels, and digital farming, just to name a few!
Learning Japanese may take a bit more investment than other languages, as there are three alphabets -- Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana, but it is a fantastic investment of time if you want to live or work in Japan.
We are proud to share with you this completely free online compendium of resources to help you get started with, improve, and ultimately master the Japanese language.
To that end, on the pages to come, you will find a bunch of truly helpful Japanese language resources, each answering a key question you need the answer to. We also provide a list of resources, broken down by level: beginner, intermediate, and advanced, to ensure you get the support you need, no matter at what level you may find yourself.
Where do the resources come from? Our members and staff. We individually screen every resource prior to posting to ensure high quality and to verify the authenticity of each. If it's listed, it means a) one of our Break Diving members has used the resource and highly recommends it, and b) the listed resource has in some way supported the growth of Break Diving and believes in our mission (or at the very least, has not actively refused to support our mission). You can trust that each resource we list is legitimate, and has our Break Diving seal of approval. If you have any issues with any of the resources listed, please reach out and let us know!
That all being said, it's time to take a deep dive into Japanese. Ready?
