By taking our Japanese 2 short course, you will learn to make yourself understood in simple social and work situations, including:

  • talking about hobbies
  • describing past activities
  • conveying your intentions
  • communicating your opinions.

Through guided practice you will increase your listening comprehension in face-to-face situations.

Using the approximately 200 basic kanji characters you will have acquired by the end of this short course, you will learn to read texts that you may encounter in everyday life and some business settings and compose messages and basic documents. Upon completion, you will have acquired JLPT N5 level*, and will be working towards N4.

Assessment for this course is via two pieces of coursework (15%), a reading comprehension (20%), a writing composition (20%), a final examination including oral test (40%) and class participation (5%).

* Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Please note: this is only an approximate equivalence.
