The 10 minutes a day® Program
  • The 10 minutes a day® Series is your first step in language learning.  This program lays the groundwork to springboard you to the next level.  You'll understand how the components of the language work so you'll have the freedom to use the language for any situation.
  • The 10 minutes a day® method guarantees success—all you need to do is set aside 10 minutes a day.  When you do a little bit every day, you reinforce your learning and progress quickly.  Whether you're doing the exercises or playing with the interactive modules, being consistent every day will help you to become comfortable and make this new language yours.
  • The program is designed so you can work at your own pace.  There is no set speed or time limit.  If you want to do more than 10 minutes a day, keep going.  Just remember, let the process be fun.
  • Designed to look like a child's workbook, the 10 minutes a day® book is an approachable and fun program for everyone.  It covers the material equivalent to more than a year of high school Japanese or the first quarter of Japanese at university.  It's a refreshing alternative to boring textbooks and you'll be surprised at how much you learn.
  • The program focuses on words you'll use when traveling.  You'll learn Key Question Words so you can ask for what you need; money and numbers so you can shop and pay bills; directions so you can get around town smoothly, and so much more to make your experiences abroad enjoyable.
  • Study aids and fun activities such as word games, puzzles and interactive modules are academically sound and strategically interwoven into the program.  They're engaging and most importantly, they're designed to help you succeed.
  • Interactive software, Sticky Labels, and Cut-out Menu Guides make learning more playful.  Do an exercise in the book then place your Sticky Labels around your home.  Use the interactive software to review during coffee breaks.  Take the Cut-out Menu Guide to your local restaurant and practice ordering in your new language.  It's just that easy and it's just 10 minutes a day!
