What Is StoryLearning?
From: Olly Richards
London, United Kingdom
StoryLearning was built to help language learners tackle the old “Parrot Problem” of language learning. You may remember it from school.
With the Parrot Problem, you use word lists and grammar rules. It’s the “repeat after me, like a parrot” style of teaching.
But you never truly learn the language this way. You’re just repeating it and putting it in your short term memory.
With the Parrot Problem, you use word lists and grammar rules. It’s the “repeat after me, like a parrot” style of teaching.
But you never truly learn the language this way. You’re just repeating it and putting it in your short term memory.
You can't remember Japanese through other courses because they use the old Parrot Problem of learning.
Today, most existing Japanese language courses and apps have the Parrot Problem.
Sure, they can teach you basic phrases. But when you reach an intermediate level of Japanese, you hit a brick wall and get stuck!
(That's why you're here on this page!)
StoryLearning is a new - and very different - method of learning Japanese.
Best of all, the more advanced you get in Japanese, the more it helps you. That's because StoryLearning teaches you to think like a native .
And thinking like a Japanese speaker is the secret to mastering Japanese and becoming fluent!
What Is StoryLearning?
As an experienced language teacher and speaker of eight languages, StoryLearning is a process I invented to teach you Japanese naturally. It’s so natural, in fact, that it’s based on how you learnt to naturally speak as a child.
Stories are the most basic form of human communication. We've been communicating through stories for thousands of years – since we were cavemen.
That’s why my StoryLearning Method uses the power of story to teach you Japanese to fluency! The language truly gets implanted in your mind.
You remember words more easily because you're so engrossed in the story. And the language makes sense to your brain naturally - on a deep level.
You end up learning Japanese almost passively. It’s the same way that a native Japanese speaker learns. That is the exciting result of learning through Story Learning.

Summary
When you learn Japanese through StoryLearning, you’ll be able to learn tricky Japanese grammar naturally, just like native speakers do. That's the magic of stories!
- The Problem:
Most existing Japanese language courses and apps don’t work! That’s because they have the Parrot Problem working against them - ‘repeat after me’. That is not learning, it is more short term memorisation. That’s why you forget it so easily.
Meanwhile, most Japanese textbooks teach you grammar with rules and endless boring exercises. That isn't real learning either! Because guess what? Native speakers don't think in rules! So why should you?
But, if you're an intermediate Japanese speaker, you already know this! You've spent months (maybe even years) learning grammar rules. But it never gets any easier, does it?
Ever wondered why?
Traditional language learning can be convenient for a beginner, when you need things "dumbed down" to get started. But if you want to break through the intermediate level, and become truly fluent in Japanese... you need to do things differently!

Traditional language learning can be convenient for a beginner, when you need things "dumbed down" to get started. But if you want to break through the intermediate level, and become truly fluent in Japanese... you need to do things differently!
The Solution:
As an intermediate Japanese learner, StoryLearning gives you exactly what you need:
Stop learning Japanese with rules. Instead, immerse yourself in a magical world of stories!
This is how Japanese speakers learn, as children. (It's how you learned your first language too.)
When you see Japanese grammar inside a story, you'll start to internalise the grammar faster than you ever imagined. It's 100% natural learning, tailor made for the needs of an intermediate-level student.
There are no ‘algorithms’ or ‘mass-produced software’. Just real learning, based on stories.
I’ve used this method to learn eight languages. I'm the living proof that it works.
But more importantly, so are my thousands of students who I’ve helped to learn a new language. I’ll use this exact same method to help you learn Japanese too.
Please note: StoryLearning is very different to how you learned at school. If you’re a person who doesn’t like new things, StoryLearning might be a shock to you.
But if you truly want to master Japanese, and use Japanese freely in your life, then you can try StoryLearning today, completely free..

Why Try To Master Japanese?
When you started to learn Japanese, you had dreams of speaking fluently. You probably imagined fearlessly chatting away with native speakers on the streets of Barcelona, Bogota or Buenos Aires.
But at some point, "study" took over, things got tough, and your passion dropped. And that's ok - it happens to us all.
Here's what's important: Don't let yourself get stuck in an intermediate slump for too long! Losing motivation for too long is damaging. Many people give up.
All you need to break through intermediate Japanese, and finally become fluent, is a new toolkit.
As soon as you rediscover your momentum and progress, the sooner you will be rewarded with a more fulfilling life.
Being able to speak Japanese fluently brings so much pleasure to your life. Why wait even a moment longer to start making the most out of life?

This Result *IS* Very Typical
Here’s a common experience my students get from my StoryLearning method.
Kelly came to me after trying to learn Spanish lots of times before. She was a typical case of 'stop and start' many times over the years. She never really got anywhere with her Spanish.
After just a few lessons with my StoryLearning method, she wrote to me. She said she was amazed at how suddenly she was able to understand Spanish grammar that had mystified her for years.

You see, Kelly always had real trouble with Spanish grammar in particular because of the traditional Parrot Methods she found on other courses.
But with my method, it’s different:
I don’t just give you a bunch of rules and then ask you to memorise them.
Instead, I give you a simple story in Japanese to read. You read the story, and then listen to the audio. You immerse yourself in the sounds of Japanese!
Then, you watch an in-depth lesson with me, where I teach you all about the Japanese in the story. In particular, the grammar that appears in the story.

It’s unlike any grammar lesson you’ve had before!
Instead of grammar rules, I show you the grammar 'in action' inside the story. That’s what makes it so easy and natural to learn!
In fact, I almost don’t have to teach you at all… you just begin to understand the grammar intuitively!
Because I’ve learned eight languages, I can use this experience to help you learn faster. And that’s the magic of this programme - a combination of StoryLearning plus my teaching!
That’s what Kelly found from StoryLearning, and this is also a typical result! Things that have confused you for years suddenly become clear!

How Does StoryLearning Work?
It’s difficult to explain how well StoryLearning works. However, here’s a rough idea of how StoryLearning teaches you Japanese so well...
Imagine you’re trying to solve a mystery. Here’s the mystery:
Imagine you’re trying to solve a mystery. Here’s the mystery:
You’re on vacation in Japan. One day, you get hungry. You have a choice of three snacks: tempura, yakitori and okonomiyaki. Two of the snacks are fine. The other contains poison. But you don’t know which! How will you choose which snack to eat?
How would you solve this mystery?
Now, I don’t know how you tried to solve this mystery in your mind. But actually, that wasn’t the point!
You see, when you read about this mystery, you automatically learned something.
You learned the names of three Japanese foods:
• Tempura
• Yakitori
• Okonomiyaki
You weren’t trying to learn anything. The learning just happened naturally as you thought about the mystery.
And because you don’t want to get poisoned, you probably thought carefully about it!
This is how StoryLearning is designed too. You learn Japanese naturally as you read and listen to the story!
I’ve become fluent in eight languages using StoryLearning. It is a completely new way of learning languages. Thousands of people across the world have used it successfully to learn Japanese.

The Secret 'Double Activation' Trick Behind StoryLearning
The Japanese story I’ve created for this course is written to be the perfect balance for intermediate level.
You'll be able to enjoy the story. But you'll also be exposed to all the important grammar you need to master at this level... within the story!
Your eyes and ears will be immersed in Japanese, by reading and listening to the story at the same time.
With the immersive video lessons in the course, you will learn about the nuances of the grammar from the story. This helps to push your understanding to the next level.
Finally, you'll activate what you learn within interactive exercises. This is the "bridge" that helps you actually use what you learn in speaking.

It’s Almost Like Learning Japanese in Reverse!
You cover the Japanese story first (that is the reverse of how Japanese is usually taught). This lays the groundwork for the lessons.
During the lessons you go over the story. That’s when you break down how the language works in that same story.
This is why this time , the grammar will finally stick...
The learning isn't "rules-first". It's "story-first"!
The idea is that you are fully immersed in Japanese. This helps you learn Japanese naturally.

The Japanese Uncovered Course Works Through StoryLearning®
You start off with full immersion in a single Japanese story. I wrote the story myself, specifically for this Japanese Uncovered (Intermediate) course.
It’s called 三種の神器 (San Shu No Jingi) , which means ‘Three Sacred Treasures’.
It’s not like other boring Japanese lessons. This is an exciting story that will bring you back every day, because you want to find out what happens next.
Part 1 of this story is 10 chapters.
The Japanese Uncovered (Intermediate) course is built around the story, so it has 10 modules too. That’s one module for each chapter in the story.
At the end of the chapter, you also get exciting video lessons that uncover the language from the story.

stronger
in your mind...
and much easier to remember!
In these videos lessons, we teach you in a way that helps you understand Japanese much faster than usual...
We’ll go through the story with you, and teach you Japanese using the story you’ve just read.
Then, we’ll help you uncover Japanese grammar from the pages of the story and show you how they work together. (That's what makes it stick!)
That is the pattern for each module and then that is repeated for 10 modules throughout the entire course.

Kanji In Japanese Uncovered (Intermediate)
Every Japanese course takes a different approach to teaching kanji (Japanese characters).
So, how do we deal with kanji in Japanese Uncovered (Intermediate)?
In a nutshell...
The aim of Japanese Uncovered (Intermediate) is to help you master intermediate-level Japanese, so you understand natural Japanese and speak with confidence.
To do this, we focus on building your vocabulary and grammar... through the magic of the story!
(Our benchmark is the N3 level of the JLPT system.)
In Japanese Uncovered (Intermediate), we do not teach you kanji.
Instead, we focus on kanji in a separate extension course. (Coming soon)
The reason is simple...
Learning kanji is a big task! There's a LOT of kanji to learn at intermediate level. Trying to study everything at the same time is not a smart learning strategy.
It's too easy to get bogged down.
So, instead, we teach kanji separately, in our extension course. With this approach, you're not trying to figure out what a new word means AND remember it's kanji at the same time.
You simply take words you've already learned... and add the kanji on top!
So much easier!
Think of it as a two-step process:
• Step 1: Improve your overall Japanese level, with this course
• Step 2: When you're ready, focus on kanji in our extension course
This way, you'll learn faster, and enjoy the whole process more
