Some learners who plan on dedicating themselves to fluency may just want to know how to speak Japanese first and then dive into writing system.Įither way, we have the definitive guide to spoken Japanese to help you along. However, you may not find a lot of use in learning several complete syllabaries and writing systems when traveling to Japan or focusing strictly on spoken communication.

There’s nothing wrong with that and many Japanese learners start out just learning pronunciation and listening skills. Maybe you want to learn spoken Japanese first before diving into learning hiragana, kanji and romaji. In any case, you don’t have to pick a side.
It seems to some that Japanese writing is inextricable from Japanese speaking. You might not always be able to speak to your friends in person or using your voices, and a text or a written message may be necessary. If you’re traveling, at some point you’ll need to be able to read things, such as traffic signs, maps, building names, etc. On the other hand, you could see that as nearly impossible. Your reason for learning might be strictly to meet and communicate with Japanese speakers verbally, so you don’t want to spend any time learning a new writing system. On one hand, you could just learn spoken Japanese if you plan on briefly visiting Japan and firmly believe that you won’t need to be able to read or write in order to get around. Wouldn’t it be great if simple questions always had simple answers? This one’s harder to answer than it seems, and many Japanese learners are heavily divided on the topic.
