Interested in mastering Japanese? You've come to the right place.

About this Site

I started this site in February of 2008 to share study tips for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Three years later, I now work as a professional translator in Tokyo.

I focus on self study, since I think that is the most effective way to learn for determined individuals. I also offer a lot of pointers to other great (often free!) online and offline resources.

Feel free to send me a message!

New series of articles on how to make Japanese friends online

Submitted by Patrick Kenny on Sun, 10/21/2012 - 19:54

As some of you may know, I am now spending most of my time developing Oh My Japan, a social network that helps Japanese and English speakers connect with one another for friendship, language exchange, and romance.

I've added several articles to that site about making friends with Japanese people which may be of interest to Nihongo Pera Pera readers as well.

Announcing Oh My Japan, a social network for people interested in Japan and Japanese culture

Submitted by Patrick Kenny on Sat, 07/07/2012 - 18:17

Over the past twelve months, I've spent most of my spare time working on a new website for people interested in Japan, the Japanese language, and Japanese culture. This website, Oh My Japan, will allow people both in and outside of Japan to make friends with Japanese and other people from around the world who share their interests.

No news is good news?

I apologize for the lack of updates. I've been working hard on my new project, but I ran into some problems and I'm still not ready to talk about it yet. I just wanted to let all of you know that I am still interested in helping people learn Japanese and I will have much more information about how I plan to do so in a month or two.

Shadowing

A big project that I'm not quite ready to talk about yet has been keeping me very busy; I'm sorry about the lack of updates. This week I added an article on shadowing, which is an effective technique for making your speech sound more natural.


In other news, the Sony Japan store is still down. I do hope they get it back online soon, but as they haven't announced any concrete plans yet the prospects are not good.
