Level up your 日本語

Do you have a solid foundation of essential Japanese? Have you completed your JLPT 4 test and are currently studying for JLPT 3? Let’s help you level up your intermediate Japanese skills!

We are now accepting students for a 10-week workshop on intermediate conversations. Under the steady guidance of Ikunaga-sensei, 6 students will have the opportunity to flex their Japanese capabilities over Zoom for 2 hours at a time. In this intimate group setting, Ikunaga-sensei will be able to gauge the needs of each student and adjust the subject matter to those needs. This is a great way to grow comfortable using Japanese in unscripted and genuine conversations, and to help take your Japanese speaking to the next level!

Examples of topics that will be covered:

• Conversational Grammar
• Essential JLPT Kanji
• Onomatopoeia
• And More!

*This workshop is meant for those who already have a foundation in Japanese, preferably having participated in JSNC’s Intermediate 1-3 OR completed JLPT level 4/studying for the JLPT level 3 test.

*Workshops with low enrollment may be canceled.
