The course will be delivered through Google Classroom, and you will receive several lecture videos every week. (30-60min)
After each lecture, there will be comprehension quizzes to test your understanding. (~5min)
Every weekend, there will be a weekly review test to help identify your weak areas and assist with your review (~20min).
At the end of the course, there will be a final exam. If you pass, you will receive a certificate of completion.
After you enroll, you will be invited to join our Instagram group chat community. You can stay in the community for lifetime, even after completing the course.
Along with video lectures, you will use Anki to study vocabulary. You will be given a shared deck to study at a set pace.

Terms of Service

Any illegal activities, unauthorized access, account transfer, misuse, or disruptive behavior toward others may result in immediate termination of the service. If this happens, you will still be required to pay the full amount.
We may terminate the service for any reason at our discretion. In this case, you will be charged for the services you received until the termination date, and any excess charges will be refunded.
If you have a valid reason, you can cancel during the course. Your service will stop, and you will be removed from Google Classroom and the community. If you cancel, please notify us via email.

This service is meant to help you improve your Japanese, but we do not guarantee specific results (e.g., passing N2). Each learner’s progress depends on their effort, and we cannot guarantee results. However, if you choose the Pro Plan, we offer a refund guarantee only if there is no clear improvement in your Japanese skills.
