Pros
- Learners who want situation-based Japanese
- People who like Japan Foundation materials
- Beginners who will follow one course site
Cons
- You already started Irodori
- You want a kanji sequence first
- You need a university grammar syllabus
Marugoto is a Japan Foundation Japanese course with print books and online material. Lessons are built around situations: shopping, work, talking about your week.
Who it fits
It fits beginners who want communication in daily contexts more than a university grammar ladder.
Limits
Irodori is also a Japan Foundation path. Doing both is duplicate work. Genki is the usual classroom alternative if your tutor already assigned it.
