Fast-Track FAQ

None. Fast-Track begins with romaji (the English alphabet representation of Japanese sounds) so you can start speaking phrases immediately, without learning kana first. Kana is introduced gradually as you progress.
The N5 path builds a thorough foundation for reading, writing and grammar — excellent if you're in no rush. Fast-Track prioritises the situations you'll face in Japan first, then fills in grammar and reading as you go. Think of it as "trip-first, full course later."
Yes — you buy the track once and own it. There's no monthly fee, no expiry. Upgrades between tracks are available at the price difference.
Yes, within 14 days of purchase if you've completed fewer than 3 lessons. Contact us and we'll sort it quickly.
Fast-Track is a separate, goal-shaped product — buy a persona route on its own, no JLPT bundle required. It's the fastest way to start speaking; the JLPT bundles (Foundation → Career Builder) are the thorough path to fluency and exams. Many learners do a Fast-Track first, then continue on the JLPT ladder.
