Classroom course at South Kensington
Previous experience: This course is designed for those who have completed our Pre-Intermediate course or those who have completed at least 120 hours of Japanese language study
This course aims to help expand students' breadth of conversation with more complex, yet familiar subject matters to be encountered in everyday life in Japan.
Students taking this course should be able to use complicated structures with different conjugation patterns, such as te-form, nai-form, plain (dictionary) form, ta-form, fluently. The course will help students develop a more advanced command of the language with a wider range of vocabulary and expressions. Students are expected to learn and use more Kanji as well.

Course Information
What course level should I choose?
Choosing the right language level
It is very important to book onto a course which is a good match for your level of ability, and we aim to make the process of deciding which is the right course level for you as simple as possible.
If you are a complete beginner you should, of course, enrol on a Beginner's course.
If you have some experience in the language you wish to study please first review our course descriptions to try to identify the course level which should be most suitable for you. Especially if you are out of practice in a language, or have been out of formal education for a while, please be reasonably sure and realistic about your level of proficiency prior to proceeding with enrolment.
Please contact our Japanese Coordinator with any questions about your level: Dr Yuki Tokumaru, y.tokumaru@imperial.ac.uk
