Yes. In fact, it's designed for students ranging from absolute beginner to upper intermediate level. Even if you have had zero exposure to the Japanese language, this guide will take you on a step-by-step journey to Japanese fluency. For intermediate students, it will help you streamline your acquisition of Japanese vocabulary, grammar, kanji, and natural pronunciation.

Yes and no. In general terms, the guidance in this course is applicable to any level of student. I've had some readers tell me that it proved extremely useful in learning languages other than Japanese, as well. That said, the practical guidance on specific vocabulary, kanji, and grammar that need to be attained will not pertain to advanced students (anyone over JLPT N2 level). If you are an advanced student of Japanese, and you would like some advice on some good ways to further your mastery of the Japanese language, then please email me personally, and I'll try to recommend a study program relevant to your level and interests.

This study method is guaranteed to work for anyone that follows it faithfully. However, if you find that this study method doesn't appeal to your personally, then please email me within 30 days for an instant, no-questions-asked refund.

The 1-Year Mastery Guide is delivered in 3 formats: (1) Media-Rich PDF, (2) Printer-Friendly PDF, and (3) Online Course Delivery System (=this site you're looking at).

The Bunkai Beast Grammar Guide is delivered as a PDF & on this site.

The Toby in Tokyo Video Course videos are viewable on the course pages or available for download. Lesson notes are available in PDF format. Audio tracks are downloadable as mp3 tracks or avaialable for listening on the course site.

Future updates (which you will get for free upon purchase) are likely to be in other formats as well (e-readers, etc.). I'm hoping that one day I'll be able to deliver Japanese straight to your brain while you sleep, but I'm still waiting for some more advanced technology.

Good question. It's $37, because I believe that it's worth a lot more than $37. If I'd had this guide from Day #1 of my Japanese studies, I would have saved at least $1,000, if not ten times that. What can I say? I'm a sucker for anyone selling anything that has to do with learning the Japanese language. As such, when I set out to create this guide, my goal was to make people feel like it is worth way more than they paid for it. There are other Japanese learning resources out there that cost a lot more than this, resources that aren't as good as this one. So, in theory, I could charge a lot more for this, too. But language learning shouldn't be about money. The only reason I'm even charging for this guide at all is that I want to help more and more people learn Japanese. The best way to do that would be to work on Japanese learning resources full-time--exactly what this guide pays for. Upon understanding the depth and usefulness of the contents of this guide, me on my first day of Japanese studies would have readily paid $500 for it. And I wouldn't have regretted it, because I'd be a lot better at Japanese than I am today. Realistically speaking, most people aren't as passionate about buying Japanese languages study guides as me, though, so I'm charging (less than) 10% of that. If you buy this guide, and then you think that it wasn't worth the money, I will happily send you a refund. Good luck in your studies! Keep swimming! - Niko
