SUPER REAL JAPANESE – Learn Natural Everyday Japanese

SUPER REAL JAPANESE is a practical Japanese expression book designed to teach the kind of natural, real-life Japanese actually used in everyday conversation in Japan.

Created by Valiant Japanese Language School in Roppongi, Tokyo, the book focuses on expressions that often do not appear in standard textbooks but are commonly heard in casual conversation.

Readers can learn contemporary expressions such as:

• ガチで (gachi de) – truly / seriously
• ウケる (ukeru) – hilarious / that’s funny
• エグいな (egui na) – horrible / intense / brutal, depending on context

The book also includes natural English equivalents from a native-speaker perspective, helping learners understand not only what Japanese expressions mean, but also how similar ideas would actually be said in English.

Learn Japanese People Actually Use

Many Japanese textbooks focus on grammatically correct and formal expressions, but everyday conversations often sound very different.

SUPER REAL JAPANESE introduces vocabulary and phrases that learners are likely to hear from friends, coworkers and people around them in Japan.

By studying these expressions, learners can improve their ability to understand casual speech and communicate in a more natural way.

Japanese & English Together

The book does not simply provide literal translations.

Natural English equivalents are also included from a native-speaker perspective, helping readers answer a common language-learning question:

“How would you actually say this in English?”

This makes the book useful not only for Japanese learners, but also for readers interested in the differences between natural Japanese and English expression.
