The problem
Most Japanese learning resources focus on isolated vocabulary or grammar drills without cultural context. Learners memorize words but struggle with real conversations because they don't understand when, how, and why Japanese is spoken differently depending on the situation.
Overview
JapaneseCompass teaches Japanese language fundamentals alongside the cultural context that textbooks skip — etiquette, social norms, and real-world usage. Content is distributed across a central site, Instagram for daily micro-lessons, and YouTube for deeper dives into grammar, culture, and pronunciation.
