The Japanese for Beginners Diploma Course will guide you in attaining a basic, conversational level of Japanese - speaking, reading, and writing. You’ll study sentence structure, grammar rules, and vocabulary in order to understand and be comfortable using the language.

Each of the course’s 12 modules is accompanied by an audio version to ensure accurate comprehension and ends with a multiple-choice assessment to test understanding.

You’ll learn the fundamentals of Japanese, including basic grammar, writing and pronunciation.
