This course is designed to enhance students’ Japanese language skills in a short time through intensive training so that they can pass the N2 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, which is held annually in July and December. The JLPT is widely recognised as the standard examination to assess Japanese skills, and success in the test will give students a distinct advantage in finding good employment. It teaches vocabulary, grammar and reading comprehension that corresponds to the JLPT N2 level. The N2 level is applied in actual conversations, so this course is useful for JLPT preparation and advancing Japanese communication proficiency. All the narration contains English subtitles. In addition, for those countries unfamiliar with kanji, hiragana characters are added above, so that learners can study effectively.
