Wire Your Brain the Right Way With the Only Conjugation Masterclass for Serious Learners of Japanese.

What’s included in the Masterclass?

Inside Maplopo’s Japanese Verb Pro Masterclass you get 13 video modules, the flipped syllabary and conjugation tables, quizzes and practice pages, PDFs of the video course companion textbook in English, a glanceable auxiliary chart (with definitions, sample sentences and professionally recorded audio to aid in pronunciation & rhythm), a $200 reduction in tuition should you be accepted to a future Maplopo public cohort, and a special bonus: 70 useful Japanese verbs with sample sentences, professionally recorded in JP & EN.

You also gain complimentary membership to our VerbPro Discord channel where you can ask questions specifically related to conjugation as you advance your learning of Japanese.

Is this for me?

We’ve designed this program to be approachable and instructive for Japanese language learners at all levels. Relative beginners, those with decades of experience…, even teachers of Japanese have all have told us they got a lot out of the Masterclass and return to it frequently.

If you’re a relative beginner, you should know and be able to write hiragana and katakana, own a good Japanese dictionary, and possess the patience to not rush through the program.

If you are an intermediate or advanced learner of Japanese, you’ll need to be open to learning new ways of doing old things. You’re likely familiar with stories of athletes like Tiger Woods who changed their approach to their sport so they could improve their game—if that sounds like something you’re up for, you’re in the right place.

Go slow to go fast is the idea behind Maplopo’s Japanese Verb Pro. You have likely never experienced Japanese taught in this manner before, and will benefit from it in ways you cannot yet imagine.

What questions can I ask in the Discord channel?

As long as it’s pertaining to conjugation, any question is fair game. Our private Verb Pro community is moderated by those there to help, and populated with serious learners of Japanese like you. We all work together, and we expect you’ll share your the knowledge and experience you gain from the program with others in the group as they undertake their own journey.

Can my membership in the Discord be revoked?

As a community of serious learners of Japanese, and an all-around good set of folks, we respect one another and the effort we all put into language learning. This is a critical aspect of our community, and if at any time you feel you cannot meet this standard, you will maintain access to the Verb Pro material, but your complimentary Discord membership will be immediately revoked.

What will I learn?

You will learn to conjugate verbs like a local—the way those who grow up in Japan learn. We won’t talk about ru-verbs, or u-verbs, nor ask you to memorize countless exceptions and made-up rules. Japanese conjugation is straightforward when you learn it the right way, so you’ll learn how to work with, finagle, and make sense of godan verbs, kami-ichidan and shimo-ichidan verbs, as well as ka hen and sa hen verbs.

You’ll also develop a new way of looking at the Japanese syllabary and conjugation tables, and you’ll learn how to think about Japanese verbs in the most natural, foundational way possible. It matters not if you’re just into Genki 1, years removed from practice, or a translator deep in the weeds of Japanese language every day. This way of learning Japanese verb conjugation will serve you for a lifetime, and if you put in the work, you will reap the rewards.
