I came from Korea and I took the inter-

mediate intensive course in 2015. This course

remarkably improved my Japanese proficiency

in 4 months. I studied vocabularies, grammar

and Kanji. I trained reading and writing skills in

the course. That is why I’m an advanced

Japanese learner and I’m good at Kanji now. I

strongly recommend this useful course to all

students who want to improve their

Japanese in a short time.
