  • understand complex communication in social, academic and work situations and in the media across, for example, current affairs, social issues and politics
  • comprehend situation- and media-specific vocabulary and writing style in, for example, newspaper articles and business letters; read more complex texts including academic writing
  • write reports and essays accurately in terms of vocabulary, kanji-usage and writing style; formulate independently letters for work and social purposes
  • read and write approximately 550-700 kanji.

By the end of this course, you will be working towards JLPT N2 level.*
