BEGINNER
The beginner course follows the みんなの日本語初級Ⅰ/Minnano Nihongo Elementary 1 and looks to apply it against everyday situations to help you get settled in Japanese life. The target level for starters is JLPT N5.
TERM 3-4
INTERMEDIATE
Following on from the beginner course the focus moves up towards JLPT N3 and uses the みんなの日本語中級Ⅰ/Minnano Nihongo Chuukyuu 1 textbook as a guide to build on the foundation established at beginner level. Students will become more confident in their usage and be more comfortable conversation.
TERM 5-6
ADVANCED
Finally, the advanced level moves to more complex communication with JLPT N2-N1 level work. The work does not use a specific textbook at this level so that the classes may be adapted to the students specific needs.
