Sign up to my newsletter, I’ll send you stuff that will help you learn a language

    I'm Matt Archer, also known as Matt vs Japan.

    I taught myself Japanese to near-native fluency while living in America, and I’ll help you do the same.

    I focus on Japanese, but 90% of what I teach is applicable to learning any language.

    My main offering is Immersion Dojo, a coaching program and online community for serious language learners. See below for more information.

    After 8 years of coaching language learners 1-on-1, the number one problem I hear is "I know what I need to do, but can't stay consistent".

    The best solution for improving consistency? Accountability through community.

    Weekly Workshop

    The Immersion Dojo community will help you stay accountable and motivated through weekly live group Zoom calls. Receive coaching directly from me to stay on track with your target language.

    Every week, we all jump on a group Zoom call and talk shop:

    • I give an update on my own language learning

    • I share my recent language learning insights (I'm constantly studying the field of language acquisition)

    • Members open their mic and share how their week went, and receive direct feedback from me and other members

    • Live reacting to and discussing trending videos in the community

    • We all share immersion content recommendations so you never run out of new content

    • Live Q&A where you can ask clarifying questions in real time

    Calls are every Saturdays at 5pm PST (Sundays 10am JST).

    A recording of each live is uploaded for members who couldn't make it in real time.

    All levels are welcome, from total beginner to already fluent. The only requirement is that you're seriously dedicated to mastering your target language.

    The majority of what we cover is relevant to learning any language, so don't worry if you're learning a language other than Japanese.

    Exclusive Content

    Additionally, I'm constantly uploading exclusive content just for Dojo members.

    Sign up now to INSTANTLY get access to:

    Interview with Nick about learning Spanish and teaching Japanese people about immersion (18 minutes)

    (Nick's an American with amazing Japanese; he does comedian entirely in Japanese)

    Interview with Yuto, the up-and-coming face of immersion learning for Japanese people learning English. It’s entirely in Japanese, so it counts as immersion content (56 minutes)

    Q&A video where I talk about what I’ve been up to, what I’ve changed my opinion on since moving to Japan, and much more (31 minutes)

    Going forward, I'll be regularly uploading:

    • Conversions IN JAPANESE with Japanese friends and creators

    • Behind-the-scenes content from collabs and interviews

    • Content that's a little too edgy for YouTube (talking about dating in Japan, etc.)
