This course is a correspondence course. As soon as you receive the course materials, you can start. Each lesson is four pages long, and each textbook contains 20 lessons. If you study five days a week, you can finish each textbook in four weeks.
You can proceed with your studies at your own pace, but remember that monthly tests should be submitted by the specified deadline. If you miss a deadline for some reason, all six monthly tests must be submitted by the deadline for BOOK 6, AND receive a score of 70 percent or higher, otherwise you will not receive a Certificate of Completion.
In Books 3, 4, and 5, the Advanced level books include an essay question in addition to the multiple-choice test questions. The Beginning and Intermediate levels have "communication tasks", which introduce various topics and require you to interact with native Japanese speakers to complete them. We hope these activities will improve your experience with this course.
