Beginner

A school-style path to JLPT N4. A live session every week, a daily practice loop, and an optional weekend conversation day — built to the high standards of the JLPT exams, targeting the July 2027 sitting. Exam prep is woven through the course, with dedicated prep weeks before the exam.

Live sessions

For students who have the basics down — roughly N5 level — and are working toward N4. If you're around N5, you're ready for the next step up. On the road, this is the level where Japan opens up — real conversations, not phrasebook lines.

Your week

Each step feeds the next. Repeat weekly.

1. 1. Live sessionsA live session (up to 25 min) with your teacher every week: your questions, what you got stuck on, and practice with the group. In the 3 months before your exam it becomes a 2-hour exam-prep class each week.
2. 2. Daily practiceOne focus a day — grammar, vocabulary, listening, kanji, or reading. Small doses, no cramming.Start today's practice →
3. 3. AI conversation practiceYour personal AI conversation prompt works with ChatGPT or Grok, so you can hold real conversations on your own time, as often as you like.
4. 4. Study communityLearn alongside other students at your level. Questions answered, progress shared, nobody studies alone.
5. 5. Weekend conversation meetupAn optional weekend get-together for guided conversation practice. Included — not an add-on.

Your AI conversation partner

When your course starts, you get a custom AI conversation prompt for ChatGPT or Grok. It turns the AI into a conversation coach at exactly your level — free practice between sessions, as much as you want.

What you'll be able to do

• Read around 300 kanji and follow simple written passages without stalling
• Converse about plans, experiences, and opinions across past, present, and future
• Hold real conversations while traveling — directions, restaurants, small talk, and sorting out problems as they come
• Use intermediate grammar: conditionals, passive and causative forms, keigo basics
• Reach a solid N4 level — ready for real conversations and the next stage
