Free, structured Japanese lessons for English speakers worldwide — from complete beginner to JLPT N4, with real guidance on working and living in Japan.
Nihongo-Work is built for anyone around the world who wants to learn Japanese with a clear goal: working or building a career in Japan.
Whether you are a software engineer in the US, a nurse in the Philippines, an engineer in Bangladesh, or a student anywhere — if you want to understand Japanese and navigate the Japanese workplace, this site is for you.
Most Japanese learning resources focus on tourism or casual conversation. Very few address what actually matters when you want to work in Japan: reading a job offer, understanding a manager's indirect feedback, navigating a visa application, or passing the JLPT to qualify for a skilled worker visa.
Nihongo-Work was created to bridge that gap — combining language learning with real, practical knowledge of Japan's work culture and immigration pathways.
