YANA SAKOVSKAYA
course author

My goal was to create such a Japanese language course that the heart of a person in it would breathe and rejoice. Like any other language, Japanese can be very boring to learn: cramming characters and writing boring exercises in the spirit of “I'm a student, and he is a history teacher”.
I wanted to weave a world out of the Japanese language in which people will remember themselves alive, sensitive and magical, which they really are. This is how the course “Japanese for Creative Hearts” appeared.
