Hello, I'm Richard Graham.

And when I was a kid, I hated school. I found it sooooo boring...

Then I spent 3 years teaching full-time in 3 Japanese schools. At first that was even worse. Students were sleeping, and not really learning anything. Just like it had for me, the traditional "chalk and talk" method of teaching was switching students off left, right and center.

So I transformed my way of teaching, I listened to what the kids were really wanting to say and tried teaching it in ways they really wanted to learn. The results were magical.

Just like you learn the lyrics to a favourite song or the latest baseball statistics, they learn Genki English because it's fun!

AND WHEN IT'S FUN, IT BECOMES EASY TO LEARN NEW THINGS!

That's where I found out my way of teaching had a name: "Genki", Japanese for "fun", "exciting" and "full of life".

After a lot of success on TV, magazines and newspapers and helping other teachers become "Genki", in the year 2000 I founded GenkiEnglish.com and started making the Genki English Teacher's Packs. Now they are used by millions of students in dozens of countries. It really works. And it's really easy to teach!

These days half of my time is spent being invited to give workshops and lectures for universities, education centers, boards of education, and schools around the world on how to really motivate students and get the best out of lessons using Genki English. You'll find videos and articles throughout the site.

The other half of my time is spent researching, developing, testing and refining new Genki teaching materials for you. Whilst everything works really well at the moment, I'm sure there are still more ways and better materials still to be made to make the next step up in teaching. Once you buy the Download Pack you'll find lots of these in the members' forum for you to try out yourself!

For me, seeing new teachers in Asia, the Americas, Europe or Africa light up when their students begin to take an interest in lessons again really makes it all worthwhile.

  • OMG you're so adorable! Your programs are not only useful for helping children learn new languages but also adults. I've been using some of your stuff to help me learn Korean, and I'm having fun while doing it. Thank you for dedicating your life to helping people learn languages in a fun way :)

  • @DonnieDog13 Thank you!

  • Oh my god Richard, you are a genius.

    Your amazing, what a real, true amazing teacher!

    I love the way the guy looked when he ran and when he stretched, I'm sure kids get a kick out of that. And the different speaking intonations idea is incredibly smart, you rock Richard! well done!

  • @jikarax It's not a case of the opportunity as such, if you've got internet access and at can make least 30 minutes to start that is your opportunity. But it's more a case of deciding exactly what you want to do and then putting in the hours & hours and making the sacrifices to make it happen. It took years, testing, testing, getting feedback and many hours to get to where things are now, and there is still a lot to do.

    But if you do choose that road, you'll certainly get everything you want!

see all
