"I love Olly's work - and you will too!" - Barbara Oakley, PhD, Author of New York Times bestseller A Mind for Numbers
Most Japanese students try to learn Japanese grammar and vocabulary through rules and rote memorisation. This doesn't work, and is extremely stressful for you as a learner. Why? Because there are lots so many rules to learn and vocabulary to remember that it's impossible to hold them all in your head at the same time while you're speaking. It's also not a natural approach ... native speakers don't learn the language with rules and memory tricks, after all!
With 30-Day Mastery: Amazing Adjectives & Adverbs you'll learn through example and context, just like native speakers do! The magic of learning through story is that your main focus is actually not on memorising anything... you concentrate on understanding and enjoying the story! As you're reading, you will find that the rules surrounding Japanese adjectives and adverbs, as well as their meaning, will begin to lodge themselves subconsciously in your brain. It doesn't happen right away - in fact it may take a couple of weeks for you to feel the real effects. But by the end of this book, you'll have a native-like command of Japanese descriptors that will amaze you and your friends!
In this story, you will read about Ai, a 19-year-old student at a prestigious cooking school in Tokyo. She has always dreamt of becoming a chef, however, the competition at the school is hard and, coming up to their graduation day, Ai and her close friends are getting ready for the school's annual competition. Together, they must come up with dishes that are both traditionally Japanese and original if they want to win the competition and be scouted to work in prestigious restaurants across the country.
