Learn N1-level grammar, vocabulary, and discussion

We will use a textbook 日本がわかる、日本語がわかる in the class. If you don’t have the textbook, please buy it before the class starts.

This textbook includes 12 essays talking about best-seller novels, essays, etc. Each topic is interesting to discuss, too.
We will not read the essays together in the class as each one is quite long. You will read the essay as homework and we will focus on learning grammar, vocabulary, and discussion in the class.

In this semester, we will read 第1課 and 第11課 of the textbook.

第1課「問題な日本語」

・あなたの母語で使い方が変、違和感があると思う単語や表現がありますか。
・日本語で話す際に間違いやすい単語や文法はなんですか。

第11課「電車男」
・SNSは人々の実生活にどんな影響を与えていると思いますか。
・「電車男」がインターネットの掲示板「２ちゃんねる」から書籍化したことについて話し合いましょう。

For each unit, you will…
・Learn grammar and vocabulary used in the essay
・Summarise each part and check the content of the essay together
・Give a presentation (at the 6th and 12th lesson)
*Ako will join the lessons for the presentation.
*You need to take 1 or 2 hours a week for homework, too.

5min Conversation
We will give you a topic and you will talk about the topic with your classmates. The topics are travel, food, lifestyle, hobbies, etc. 

 

This course is for people who have finished studying the N2 level Japanese. (You don’t have to master all the grammar points of N2 perfectly.) Some vocabulary and expressions in the textbook are even more difficult than N1 level. We recommend the course for people who have passed N1 and still want to improve their Japanese, too.

We will use Zoom for the lessons.

We use Google Classroom to share the homework etc. Students can use it for free if you have a Google (Gmail) account. If you don’t have a Google account, please let us know.

*If you are absent from the class, you cannot reschedule or get a refund. We will share the homework with you, so please prepare for the next class as homework. 

*The lesson fee once paid will not be refunded.

*We will have a one-on-one meeting for a level check before starting the class. Please book a meeting via Chiharu’s Calendly link. We’ll send the link once we receive the application. Please understand that we may have to decline your admission depending on the results of the level check.

*Please pay the lesson fee via PayPal or Wise (bank transfer). We will send you the details about the payment after the level-check meeting.

About the instructor

*Ako is introducing the instructor Chiharu!
Chiharu has been teaching Japanese for about 5 years. Before becoming a Japanese teacher, she used to work for a hospital as a nurse. Since 5 years ago, she’s been teaching Japanese at a Japanese school, companies, online classes, etc. She is very friendly and diligent. I’m looking forward to joining Chiharu’s class, too!
