In cooperation with Hiragana Times, the Super JAPANese Coach Association aims to promote our unique Japanese learning system (the texts are registered as a utility model with the Japan Patent Office) worldwide.

So far, we have trained Japanese people to become coaches. Now, we are starting to train non-Japanese people who are interested in becoming a Super JAPANese Coach. If you are accepted as a coach you can teach the Japanese language using our system not only in your own country, but also worldwide through online lessons.

We will help you find students through our magazine and existing network. You will be able to gain a steady income (1,000~2,000 yen per lesson) from home. Basically Japanese coaches teach Japanese using English, while non-English speakers may teach in their mother tongue. If you are selected as a trainee, you can learn these coaching skills free of charge (an online interview is required).

• Non-Japanese over 20 years old who can speak Japanese fluently (written skills are not necessary).
• Able to become a Japanese coach if approved (either full time or part time).
• Able to fully focus on the training (some homework will be assigned).

Application Form

Now you can listen to interesting articles from the archives of Hiragana Times free of charge in English that cover topics including the Japanese language, way of life, history, and society. Through these, you can become an expert on Japan.
This service will be updated weekly.

① Communication

Testing a system for memorizing everyday vocabulary and improving communication.

② Script

Testing a system for memorizing Glomaji, hiragana, katakana and basic everyday kanji.

In four 90-minute online lessons

Carried out by the Super Japanese Coach Association in cooperation with Hiragana Times, these tests are for those who have almost no Japanese language knowledge, and those who can communicate in Japanese, but have almost no knowledge of Japanese script.

Any non-Japanese person can apply from anywhere in the world

We particularly welcome

1. Those who really want to learn Japanese.
2. Those who have almost no knowledge of the Japanese language, or its script.
3. Those who agree to these lessons being carried out by new teachers, who have completed the Super Japanese Coach course.
4. Those who can fill out a survey questionnaire about their experience of these trial lessons and agree to their feedback being used in advertisements for lessons. In addition, the lesson provider may take a video of the lesson from which clips of the lesson might be used in advertisements for these lessons.

Communication Session:

Lesson contents

You will study the MAMA memory magic method that enables you to memorize a word instantly in a fun way. The words you learn here are those most commonly used in everyday life. You will be able to communicate with Japanese people after these lessons.

Script Session:

You will first learn Glomaji, the alphabetical script that forms the basis for learning all other scripts. Then, hiragana that Japanese children learn first at primary school and katakana that is used as a stand in for mainly foreign words. Finally basic kanji that is seen on signboards, restaurant menus and in train stations.
