We are bringing back the Japanese 30 Day challenge! But it is bigger and Sexier. Oh yeah!

Starting Jan 1st 2018 we are reviving our 30 Japanese Challenge podcasts and giving them new life, new recording, and daily videos on our social feeds.

So what is the 30 day challenge? And why should you do it?
In 30 days we can give you the building blocks for speaking Japanese if you are up to the challenge.
Every day you learn under 20 words, and 1 grammar point. That's it. Just listen to my silky voice and practice with me.

How do you do it?
1. Go to manga-sensei.com and sign up for our newsletter, we will one email you once a week so make sure not to mark us as spam.
2. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook. John Sensei will be answering questions on Facebook Livestream (themangasensei) and answering questions every day on instagram (@themangasensei)
3. Go to the website every day and memorize the 20 words. We will include Anki decks, Grammar cheats, Hiragana and Katakana helps & tips, and Videos made by a company called Bahasa, and listen to the daily podcast.

That's it.
No string, no fees, just free Japanese goodness.
You're welcome.

Plus, we are teaming up with company out of Utah called Bahasa (check out their youtube page below for Chinese: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBuYgwuJvAldx52Z17zaFtw) that is helping us upgrade the 30 Day challenge.
