FSI Category IV — the long game, worth playing
~2,200 class hours to professional working proficiency · Polite basics in ~3 months; real conversation takes 6–9+ months of daily practice
What's genuinely hard
- Three writing systems — the romaji glosses keep you speaking while kana, then kanji, come gradually
- Verb-last order with particles (は/を/に) marking each word's role
- Long vs. short sounds change meaning (おばさん/おばあさん) — in minimal pairs
- Politeness levels — we teach the safe-everywhere です/ます form first
Tips
- Japanese pronunciation itself is easy for English speakers — bank that win and focus on structure
- Learn hiragana in week one; it makes every lesson more useful
