I like “Going to a Hospital.” There are people who can’t speak Japaneseand therefore don’t get their illnesses checked out. It’s great that thiswebsite lets you learn content rooted in the needs of daily life. It’s nice that
there are also subtitles which let you check the words you didn’t catch.

On this website, you can conveniently study conversational

the life in Japan that awaits you.

with no access to Japanese classes nearby to study on their own. Classroom activities canalso benefit from the website’s many videos, foreign language subtitles, explanations ofsentence structures and so on. I will definitely use them in my classes.
