Publisher's summary

Take your Japanese to the next level and further your fluency with Paul’s simple, relaxed approach and 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 help you to you build on your existing Japanese knowledge and guide you through 12 hours of essential tenses and grammar that you need to independently construct sentences and feel confident speaking Japanese in a variety of scenarios. Just listen, interact, and learn wherever you are. This course also contains a handy downloadable booklet to help you revise and reinforce your learning.

Next Steps is an intermediate course for non-beginners that follows on from the Learn Japanese with Paul Noble for Beginners - Complete Course.

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 that 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.

To continue your language learning journey once you’ve completed this course, download Learn with Paul Noble Complete courses in a variety of languages: Spanish, French, Italian, German and Mandarin Chinese.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Easy and fun

Easy and fun. I wish Paul Noble would continue this series of books and go deeper into the language. Alas, I shall still go on to learn more elsewhere.

Second book in this series

This is a continuation from the first course by Paul Noble which is required ti listed first before tackling this one. This books follows the same recipe as the first one and I’ve found both books to be very effective in my journey of leaning Japanese.

Outstanding

Simply the best! I picked up the first course two months before visiting Japan and was able to get around great and impress some new friends. Repitieron, explanations, and plenty of time between prompts to remember and construct sentences

Great but

This is a great way to practice speaking and does awsome job following up the first book, but in chapter 44 this a part where he will have you say a sentence that he doesn't teach you until about 3 minutes later. I've only seen this once but it's still a great listen.

Useful next steps.

I cannot comment on the first book but the second is useful for intermediate learners, providing nice coverage of verb conjugations using a few common core words like "go", "read", "buy" et cetera. Having listened to a lot of audiobooks that just through set phrases and vocabulary at you I found this book's systematic treatment pretty refreshing. One note about "pork bone" mentioned in other reviews: Tonkatsu (pork bone) ramen is an extremely popular dish here on Japan, so I think including that word is useful, though maybe a bit pedantic. I guess the only issue is that the systematic approach and short duration means that the book only covers fairly limited (though, as I said, useful) vocabulary.

Excellent continuation course

This course follows the other Paul Noble Japanese course, which I recommend for anyone learning Japanese. The format in this course is the exact same. You learn some more words and different ways to express ideas. This is honestly one of the best auditory language learning programs I've ever used, especially for it's price. It's very affordable and very effective - especially if you don't know any Japanese at all.

Obviously, if you're an advanced speaker you may not get as much use out if this course. I myself am above beginner and still below intermediate, but I did still learn enough to justify listening to this the whole way through.

Definitely check it out if you've already done the first part. Enjoy!

BEST way to learn Japanese

Paul Noble is a genius!!! His patience and technique provide the best way to not only learn the language, but also provides a reasonable amount explanation for origins of words, so that it can be further applied later. I have tried so many other audibles for Japanese, and I either instantly forget what was taught the next minute, or have difficulty repeating it from the get go. Thank you so much Paul, I’m excited about using what you taught me on my upcoming trip. You made it so much fun, and I always looked forward to learning. I listened to this book and the one that precedes it. I only wish there was a follow up to this book for even further steps.
