    The most important tool on NativShark

    The most important thing to do on NativShark is click the button that holds all the power:

    Study Now. 

    Click this as often as you can, and you are on the path to a high level of Japanese proficiency.


    Before we get started, here's the video version of this guide: 


    The Study Now button is extremely carefully designed to make sure that all you need to do is click it.

    You don’t have to worry about what you need to study, or in what order you need to study it.

    You don’t have to worry if you’re studying the right thing, or if you’re just wasting your time with something that isn’t useful to your Japanese proficiency.

    Clicking this button will get you exposure to lots of natural Japanese (we’ll cover what exactly that means later) and will expose you to all the tools you need in your toolbox of Japanese learning.

    So, if you ask, “How do I learn Japanese?”, the answer is simple.

    Click the Study Now button.

    And if you ever find yourself lost in your Japanese studies, the answer is simple.

    Click the Study Now button.

    And if you’re ever trying to figure out who ate the last slice of cake that was supposed to be yours,

    Well… the Study Now button might not be able to help you with that.

    But you’ll learn all you need to ask who did eat your cake in Japanese if you keep clicking the Study Now button.

    So, let’s click it and get on our way to our goals.

    Here’s how to handle your first study day.
