- [October 2021 Japanese Newsletter No.151 Survival Gadget](https://swacia.com/october-2021-japanese-newsletter-no-151-survival-gadget/): Perhaps you may be aware of the apologizing culture in Japan and know that it is a typical Japanese way of respect and courtesies in dealing with one another. Perhaps you may be thinking, in the world today, it is highly unrealistic that they bow and apologize often and in a wide variety of situations while the world isn’t very apologetic, by and large, motivated by competition. So an important question to ask is, how can the unity of Japanese organizations survive in the world of competition?

Perry made several stops during the trip to Japan to rendezvous with some more ships, and eventually arrived at Naha. Perry managed to get King Shou Tai at Shuri Castle to open the kingdom to American trade. Perry even went so far as to purchase a plot of land from local inhabitants at Ogasawara islands.

- [What has Benefited me Using Swacia’s Method?](https://swacia.com/what-has-benefited-me-using-swacias-method/): Using Swacia’s method, I am able to speak in Japanese extremely comfortably. Previously, I was timid, for I mainly studied vocabulary. The Swacia method involved taking the language one portion at a time. The pace made me feel immensely self-assured. I have taken weekly lessons for only a few months, I am able to speak descriptive and useful sentences! Before switching to these lessons, I took Japanese language sessions for nearly three years. Even then, I was too nervous to speak to anyone. My lessons now have brought up the courage in me that I lacked earlier. Learning Japanese is one of my greatest passions! I am so proud and eager to share my knowledge with others by using the Swacia method. These lessons make Japanese so enjoyable to learn, it’s all I ever think about! I thank Swacia so much for giving me the opportunity and comfort to learn a new language and culture I have been interested in for years. The practice involves a textbook that is very detailed in the explanation of the Japanese language. It helps me not only speak Japanese, but also understand the reasoning behind it. This method and practice have made me so confident in myself to continue with Japanese!
- [Benefits from Learning with SWACIA](https://swacia.com/benefits-from-learning-with-swacia/): I’ve always loved Japanese culture, and if we’re being honest I think everyone has an appreciation for Japan’s culture in some way. What kids haven’t pretended to be ninjas or samurais? The reason why I am learning Japanese, is so I can understand even more of the Japanese culture.

- [What Comes to Your Mind?](https://swacia.com/what-comes-to-your-mind/): When thinking about Japan what comes to your mind, Sushi, Ninjas, Anime, something else? Let's face it, Japan is really popular! Per the Japan National Tourism Organization, over 30 million overseas travelers visited Japan in 2018 and in February 2019 alone, 2.604 million tourists took their amazing vacations in Japan. There is so much to see and experience in Japan and the people are very gracious. So, what are you waiting for? Here are some great reasons to make Japan your next vacation destination:
- [Japanese Courses Offered at WCC, New York  – Beginners, Intermediary, and Advance](https://swacia.com/japanese-courses-offered-at-wcc-new-york-beginners-intermediary-and-advance/): Apply ONLINE or go direct 75 Grasslands Rd, Valhalla, NY 10595(914) 606-6600
- [Nihon-go Classes with High Value](https://swacia.com/nihon-go-classes-with-high-value/): SWACIA, an International non-profit organization in New York, U.S.A, originally, started out as non-profit organization has ended its non-profit activities in February, 2019, and newly started as for-profit company to teach Nihon-go (Japanese language) online.  From March 2019 onward, the regular fee was administered to all students who study Japanese language. All the benefit students are getting is not just Japanese instruction itself, but its unique teaching method that made it possible for them to complete in approximately 60 hours.  It's all too easy to mistaken its content as tawdry since so many other Japanese programs are showy and poorly made; however, students learn to study hard.  Importantly, they learn to conjugate more than 10,000 Japanese verbs correctly and automatically by simply memorizing the table of 19 model verbs. This will become a huge amount of materials, by continuously adding with new materials, multiplying within a short period of time. The value of the high standard Japanese covering the requirement of Japanese standard exams within a short period of time is well worth efforts no doubt priceless value.
- [I honestly feel like I’m fluent.](https://swacia.com/i-honestly-feel-like-im-almost-fluent/): When I started taking Japanese classes with SWACIA, I was not a hundred percent sure about it since I studied on my own in the years prior. However, I cannot say that SWACIA's classes have taught me nothing. Before taking these classes, I knew how to speak informally. I could carry out a conversation but only using informal language and I only knew how to read and write hiragana, kanji and katakana were somewhat difficult for me to understand. Knowing this would not get me very far, I registered the classes with SWACIA online course. We started off slow, talking about the Japanese alphabet and how to pronounce everything. And now, 30 hours later, we are talking about conjugating and passive, causative, causative passive and more.  Thanks to this calls I can speak both formally and informally with ease. Plus I am starting to understand how katakana works since we study it during classes. We are not quite getting at kanji yet but I am sure when we do get there i will learn a lot. In the end, I am very happy I started taking Japanese with SWACIA. She has taught me so much about the language and speaking and I honestly feel like I'm almost fluent.
- [My Experience of Learning Japanese](https://swacia.com/my-experience-of-learning-japanese/): Considering the many languages you can learn Japanese is a language that comes off as very intriguing and unique to many people. With 128 million speakers and with many learning the experience of learning and speaking the language is one that I personally can note to be something memorable and enjoyable. Learning for 2 hours per month for 7 months and comparing it to my native language English opened my eyes more to how different it is. From writing characters, learning grammar and sentence structure, and even kanji shows me how formal Japanese is and how context matters much more. Of course many hard points will stumble you at times which should be expected for any language. However the feeling of mastering a certain aspect of the language even if small is more than enough motivation which helps me reach for my goal of being fluent. With that noted it is good to remember if your not willing to put in hours of studying and practice, Japanese or learning any language generally isn't recommended. My experience up to this point has been enjoyable and challenging and has lead me to learn different things that seem very outlandish from a western point of view. Learning about food, clothing, art, and how many social rules and customs practiced and expected in Japan not only teaches but helps me appreciate the culture even more. Though my goal of fluency hasn't been met yet i know one day i'll be comfortable enough to speak it with my peers and to use it on a daily basis.
- [Learn the world of Japan!](https://swacia.com/learn-the-world-of-japan/): Imagery of bonsai trees, Zen like mountains, and enchanting tea ceremonies are likely to come to mind when you hear the word "Japan". But surprisingly, the world of Japan is much more than its typically characterized quiet and reserved culture. The Japanese language in itself, speaks volumes to its depth in meaning and emotion. A prime example is its verb "ai suru" (to love). In English, the word love is usually spoken of as a noun used in many contexts ranging from an emotional "I love you" to a casual "I love eating ice cream". However, in Japanese it's a continuous action verb that denotes intense fellow feeling much deeper than expressing a mere liking toward something. As the saying goes "mean what you say, and you say what you mean." That saying holds true In the English language where conciseness and specifics are vital for understanding. While such bluntness allows converses to come to a better understanding of each other and fortifies close bonds, being forthright has also instilled a somewhat lack of "reading between the lines" for many English speakers. In contrast, the Japanese language leaves room for ambiguity which calls for an active ear tuned to the speaker's true intent, although it may be hidden in a passive voice.
- [Introducing SWACIA Japanese Classes](https://swacia.com/introducing-swacia/): Our organization, SWACIA, started as non-profit in Japan 2013, and our earlier work focused on women and children in Nigeria. In 2016 we began teaching Japanese 150 pupils in an elementary school. Then the Japanese government granted us a fund to produce textbooks for Japanese language learners. As a non-profit, we were the first one to introduce Japanese language to Nigerians in Nigeria. Upon visa expiration to work in Nigeria, we received an assignment to teach Japanese in Abuja university, and therefore, our Japanese in 30 Weeks I Romaji course textbook was published in New York while waiting for the visa.  However, it took a long time and the visa was not issued until our online school SWACIA is established in New York. We had reached the point of no return on the road to teach American students Japanese and had to go forward!
