Japanese in 12 Omdömen 12

I really enjoy my time studying japanese with Aimee. I learn so much in a short amoung of time and she explain well. In case we have question, she's still there to reply and help us to understand the lesson. We go through the weeks with other students of our level and the community is so kind and helpful. If I have the opportunity, I will clearly doing the next level with Aimee again. 100 % recommend if you want to learn Japanese.

Enrolling in Japanese with Aimee is the single best decision I ever made towards improving my Japanese. In just three months, I've gone from thinking I might be able to speak a bit (someday) to actually speaking, reading, and writing Japanese, all thanks to Aimee's incredible talent as a teacher.

Aimee's courses really stand out from every other way I've tried to learn over the years (and I've tried everything from books to apps, big brand names to indie DIY resources). Her lessons are very carefully tailored for English speakers learning Japanese, which made a huge difference for me. Also, she's not kidding when she says you can do this in 15 minutes a day (sometimes less!). The asynchronous teaching approach really does let you fit this material into your life where it needs to, even and especially as your schedule changes.

On top of all that, Aimee is an incredibly attentive teacher. The feedback she provides on written assignments is thorough and personal, and she gives that same care and attention to even the smallest most random question you might ask her. In all my time studying across multiple undergraduate and graduate degrees, Aimee's feedback has been the most prompt and helpful I've ever gotten, and I don't say that lightly.

I'd also be remiss if I didn't talk about how accessible this course is for all types of learners. If you learn best with others, there's coworking sessions and conversation sessions multiple times every week (no mean feat with students around the world!). You're also very much empowered to do your own thing and just touch base with Aimee for feedback when you want it if that's more your style. It's seamlessly inclusive, and that's a lovely thing.

I've been singing Aimee's praises to my friends for months, and I'll keep doing so long after I've hit fluency. If you're considering this one, do yourself a favor and go for it. You have so much more to gain than you can even imagine. エーミー先生、ほんとにありがとう！❤️

I can’t recommend Aimee’s 'Japanese in 12' course highly enough. It has honestly been such a wonderful experience from start to finish.

The quality of everything included is exceptional — from the beautifully structured course material to the incredibly generous bonuses, live calls and the abundance of extra resources. You can tell so much care and intention has gone into every detail.

What stood out most to me was Aimee’s personalised feedback. It didn’t feel like a generic online course at all — I felt genuinely supported, seen and guided the entire way through, which made such a difference to my confidence and progress.

In just 12 weeks, I’ve gone from being a complete beginner to feeling comfortable reading and speaking basic Japanese. I’m definitely not fluent (yet!), but I now have enough understanding and confidence to actually use the language and get by on my next trip to Japan — which feels amazing.

If you’re thinking about learning Japanese and want something that is both high quality and deeply supportive, I truly can’t recommend this course enough. ✨

I signed up for my first J12 course level last year after reading reviews, so I know how important it is to read honest reviews. So here goes…
It’s fair to say learning languages is not a strong skill for me. But after doing 2 levels with Aimee and J12 I am still absolutely loving it, and have learned an incredible amount, enough to feel pretty confident communicating when visiting Japan again. The level is appropriate for my ability and the bite sized modules and tasks are challenging enough but not impossible. Feedback is prompt and personal, and very encouraging. The member community is also amazing, friendly and supportive, and with regular weekly conversation sessions you really have nothing to lose and everything to gain! I highly recommend J12 Japanese with Aimee 🤩🤩

I've tried it all over the years - apps, tutoring, textbooks, tafe courses etc. I even completed a Uni semester exchange in Japan. After that, I made no effort to continue my language learning. This year (almost 15 years later!) I decided to start again. I found Aimee's course challenge through an instagram post and decided on impulse to join.

I chose Aimee because she is a native english speaker who has been through the journey of becoming fluent in Japanese. I've had wonderful native Japanese teachers in the past, but I was curious if learning from Aimee would feel different knowing her path was similar to what mine will be.

The course was more than I hoped for. The login area for the modules is easy to navigate and looks great, and there is an amazing community/feedback area in the backend that operates much like a fb group or discord. If you like to learn socially and need community interaction to help you with staying accountable you will love this course. Aimee and Nick are always active with answering questions and feedback.

I thought the topics covered were extremely useful in continuing my learning journey and the modules are bite-sized so you don't feel overwhelmed, but there is still enough work to keep you busy. It's not mandatory, but having a weekly deadline to submit and do all the weekly tasks really helped me stay consistent and committed to this course. There is a good balance of spoken and written tasks to complete, and each module includes a video of Aimee going through the lesson with an accompanying pdf. She also provides many other additional resources.

Aimee's manner of teaching was incredibly effective for me, and she is probably the only teacher who has led me to improve and progress so quickly. I feel confident to self-study now and look forward to moving to the next level of the course with Aimee.

If you are sceptical about online courses, I completely understand, but this one is the real deal. Especially if you struggle to study independently and need someone to guide you.

Aimee will be your biggest cheerleader on your journey and will help you not only to learn Japanese, but also find confidence within yourself.

J12 and Aimee are amazing, I never imagined I’d get so far in a few months and I feel really motivated to keep going through her courses! I’m really glad I decided to jump in and give it a go.
💖ありがとうございます💖

The price claims it’s $395 for the full course if paid in full but when you go to pay its in USD which wounds up to be nearly 600 AUD.
Absolutely ridiculous.

I am on my second round with Aimee in one year and I can tell you, her teaching style and the amount of content she puts together for the program is incredible! So much great, deep knowledge is shared. I did years of app based self study previously, and have learned/achieved more in 2 sessions with Aimee than in all the years combined! Life-time access to the content also means I can keep reviewing and studying to further improve! It’s a really well-laid out program and the teaching is just incredible!

After struggling through apps for six months I gave Japanese in 12 a go … primarily because Aimee was not a native speaker of Japanese who had studied her way to N1 fluency - I believe it always pays to learn from someone who has achieved the outcome you’re after.
This course is legitimately brilliant - I have now completed two levels and going back for a third! The structure in Aimee’s lessons is excellent and this, coupled with her ability to break complex grammatical concepts down into simple, bite-sized lessons that are easy to absorb makes this whole course work in a spectacular way. The 1:1 support and feedback from Aimee is second-to-none, and the live conversation sessions are full of encouragement, patience and fun.

I can’t recommend Aimee and J12 highly enough, it’s been such an amazing learning experience - I really wish I’d done it earlier in my journey.

I did the Intermediate challenge and I’m so happy I signed up! I’ve learned more in the last 12 weeks than in 2 years of in-person classes. The way the course was broken down into short lessons and introduced new grammar point slowly, with plenty of exercise sheets was very helpful. Aimee is super friendly and always takes time to give feedback. Would recommend to anyone who wants to learn Japanese, I’ll be signing up to the next level.

I started the course back in April 2024, but stopped partway due to family circumstances. Re-joined to do the 2025 Challenge Round in February and it has absolutely been the best thing I have done to help my Japanese skills grow. Currently doing Week 9. Every week has been a lot of fun, Aimee explains things in an easy way and the lessons are short and concise which is very appreciated. There's lots of practice involved in the challenge that is a combination of speaking, reading and writing. I have been learning Japanese on and off for 20 years and this course has definitely been the best one thus far. I think it's a combination of Aimee's demeanor and how approachable she is and the community of learners themselves. I'm looking forward to going forward onto the next level and do a challenge round when it comes again in 2026!

If you are the type of person who reads reviews to help decide if something will be worth your time and money, let my review be the voice you need to commit to J12. Do it. The way that Aimee has structured the beginner's course is done in such a way that offers support in every way imaginable. Speaking and listening practice? There are community zoom calls. Reading and writing? The modules every week offer new and interesting information + ways to practice. Questions? There's wonderful and kind community group to engage with.

J12 was the best investment I ever made and I'll never regret it. Can't wait to take the next level!
