This is the course to make a solid foundation for future study, NOVICE PROGRAM LEVEL 4, the final level.
Even if you are new to MISJ, if you are sure about: 1. how to choose particles appropriately in making VERB sentences, 2. how to make 「てFORM」 based VERBs such as 「Ｖてみる」 and 「Ｖておく」, 3. how to use 「てFORM」 based expressions such as 「Ｖてください」, this is the right course to start with.
You can download the review materials such as review sheets, lists of patterns & extra vocabulary, one reading material, and the audio material corresponding to the reading material at the end of each lesson. In the future, smartphone Apr. will also be provided.
Suppose you are not confident in particle usages, making Japanese sentences, and handling them in conversations. In that case, I recommend that you start your brush-up study with the MISJ WELCOME PROGRAM SECTION 2.
If you are confident in particle usages but not at all confident in making and using 「てFORM」 based expressions, I recommend that you start your brush-up study with the MISJ NOVICE PROGRAM LEVEL 2.
