If you continuously study and are organised and prepared, this course will be easy to do well in. You continue your learning of Japanese grammar, writing styles and vocabulary. You also learn all forms of polite speech, which can be difficult to learn and memorise. I would not recommend this course to people who have a fear of public speaking, as majority of the assessment tasks require speaking in front of the class. Although this course requires a lot of work, you do a lot of activities with other students, which makes it fun! I definitely recommend it.

Difficult subject. Complete all grammar in Japanese. Lots of polite speech which can be tricky to learn. Friendly staff. Not good for people with fear of public speaking as have to do multiple assessments of speech. Requires consistent work, but fun as activities involve other students.
