Learning another language is part of world-class education and can be considered a wonderful “accent” to anyone’s curriculum vitae. Nihongo is deemed as one of the high-profile languages in the business world considering that Japan boasts not only of its rich culture and tradition but also of its world-renowned brands. Taking off from that premise, this creative output was an offshoot of careful and in-depth conceptualization of how a new language could be learned. Intended for all Japanese Language enthusiasts, this creative research output contains ten lessons about Basic Japanese Language which intensively focus on the grammatical sentence structures and vocabulary with written and/or oral exercises after each lesson. All lessons are simultaneously presented and discussed using three basic Japanese forms of writing, namely, Romaji, Hiragana, and Katakana. This is done with the goal of enabling anyone who uses this work-text to both speak and write basic Japanese. In addition to the lessons, Japanese culture is also mentioned with the aim of enhancing the learner’s interest. After completing the creative research work, the following conclusions are then derived- that Nihongo Gakushuu is a significant concept in creating a module for Japanese Language learning among non-native Japanese speakers and that Romaji, Hiragana, and Katakana are truly effective tools in conceptualizing and in designing a module for learning the Japanese Language. One recommendation is forwarded and that is for a separate study to be conducted aimed at evaluating and assessing the effectiveness of this material as a valid tool for learning Nihongo.
