JLPT N4 Grammar
This intensive workshop is designed to help learners strengthen their Japanese grammar skills in preparation for the JLPT N4 exam. Over the course of 6 weeks, using the grammar section of Nihongo So-Matome JLPT N4, students will meet for 90-minute sessions focused on building a solid understanding of key N4 grammar structures.
As this is an intensive test-prep workshop, students are expected to complete weekly homework assignments prior to each class to ensure that class time can be used effectively for review, clarification, and application.
Students will review core sentence patterns, improve their accuracy, and develop confidence in applying grammar both for the exam and in practical communication. This workshop is ideal for learners who are preparing to take the JLPT N4 or looking to solidify their intermediate foundation.
Students are required to obtain their own copy of the textbook: Nihongo So-Matome JLPT N4 Grammar (ASK Publishing). The book can be purchased here: https://a.co/d/03Th0DFY
