About this listen

No books. No long lists of vocabulary. No chance of failure.

Welcome to Learn with Paul Noble – a tried and tested language learning method that has been used by over 1 million people to speak fluently and confidently.

With Paul Noble’s simple, relaxed approach you will learn in a way that suits you – without having to memorise long lists of words you won’t use; scribbling notes as you listen; or feeling frustrated. Instead, Paul will introduce you to the basics of Japanese and guide you through over 15 hours of everyday scenarios – from simple situations like asking for directions and eating out to talking about yourself and how to master the different tenses – that are practical, fun, and applicable. Just listen, interact, and learn wherever you are.

Whatever your experience with languages, whether you’re an absolute beginner or someone with basic knowledge who wants to improve their ability, this is the course to get you speaking Japanese quickly and confidently.

A native Japanese expert will help you to perfect your pronunciation as you progress through the course. You will learn a huge range of vocabulary in no time at all, and be able to quickly make your new knowledge work for you in a variety of everyday scenarios. A downloadable booklet is also included to use as a reference and revision tool.

Paul Noble left school unable to speak a language – having found that the traditional learning methods left him feeling ‘confused, incapable and unable to really say anything’. Determined that there must be a better way to learn, Paul spent years devising his own unique method of learning languages which cuts out all the grammar, all the memorisation, and all the stress. He began using his method to teach in his Language Institute and, thousands of students later, he prides himself on never having had a student fail.

This download contains the entire course – Parts 1, 2, and 3. To continue your language learning journey once you’ve completed this course, download Next Steps in Japanese with Paul Noble for Intermediate Learners – Complete Course.

The accompanying booklet is also available at: collinsdictionary.com/resources.

this is great a great coarser have tried a few but this is by far the best, all the way through the coarse you keep repeating and he keeps brining things you have learnt from the beginning so if you do forget you will be reminded almost finished this and I can't wait to start the next step

great for beginner

After trying to learn Japanese from Duolingo, this is an infinitely better experience. You’re actually advised to not try and remember each part and amazingly, it actually works. He breaks the language down into easy to understand small concepts, then builds them back up a little at a time, returning to previously covered words often enough that they embed in your mind, but not so often that it’s tedious and parrot fashion.

It’s beginner level so you will get to the point where you’ll be able to say: “I want to go to Tokyo, so yesterday I booked a hotel reservation on the internet” and similar beginner phrases like ordering food in a restaurant etc. It covers how to say eating, drinking, buying, going, reading, playing and how to use each in different contexts like, I eat, I ate, I don’t eat, I didn’t eat, I want to eat, I am eating etc.

If I had to point out downsides, the only thing I can think of is that sometimes you can’t tell what the Japanese speaker is saying, but this is mainly due to how different the language is to English, rather than a flaw in teaching style. For example, there are two words “hitotsu” and “futatsu” which I actually had to look up to really know what I was trying to pronounce. Considering how well the book teaches, I’ll gladly spend a couple of minutes with ChatGPT checking the spelling and pronunciation.

Otherwise it’s great and I’ll definitely be getting the second book.

Easiest learning experience of my life
