Follow the author on his odyssey from a 24-year-old Midwesterner unable to speak a word of Japanese as he recounts his initial struggle to survive even Japanese 101, to cramming four years of college Japanese into one year with top grades, to gaining functional fluency, conquering kanji, and finally gaining sufficient mastery over the language to develop marketable Japanese skills as a Japanese teacher and translator, all within four short years.

A truthful look at what it takes to master Nihongo
Reviewed: 12-18-20
As a language learner currently pursuing a career in Japanese translation, I really connected with the author's story. From his upbringing in the Midwest to learning about his path to mastering the Japanese language, I was able to apply some of his methods to improve my own study habits and speaking ability. Confessions of a Japanese Linguist is well worth listening to. I really enjoyed it!
