Online Japanese N4 Course(All 15 lessons) (Udemy.com)

The Lesson structure and vocabulary list is really good. Including conversation in each lesson helps a lot, but it would be good if the speakers in the conversation are as clear as Ando sensei. Also, In the Grammar part the examples are really hard to understand. I felt the examples are a bit higher level for N4. One more drawback, the subtitles seems to be incorrect sometimes. Considering these minus points, this course alone won't be sufficient for clear N4 exam. Mainly the grammar part needs more guidance and simple examples.

Fantastic resource, learning in Japanese and from Japanese teachers is the best way. Excellent coverage of the relevant grammar and vocab and using them in context in spoken dialogues. My only complaint would be that there should be only Japanese natives in the dialogues. Thank you for such excellent courses!

I just received my JLPT result and I passed N4! Thank you sensei, for this amazing course. Although I used this course in addition to other materials, a lot of questions in my JLPT exam were based on topics mentioned in this course. I definitely recommend this course to anyone who wishes to clear the N4!

I really appreciate the simple explanations for the grammar points and I my listening comprehension has improved a lot with this course. My only issues are the lack of exercises for the vocabulary and grammar, and that the scenarios presented are mostly at work with foreign colleagues. For someone like me who is learning the language to read and watch Japanese pop culture in the original language, this makes some of the examples irrelevant for me.

The course is fantastic, I've learnt so much right from the start. The sensei is brilliant, she is very thorough and ensures that every aspect of the different forms is carefully explained and understood.
Truly a recommended course of learning.. Thank you so much! Arigatougozaimasu.

It is very well structured and organized, enjoying it so far

The grammar explanations are excellent, and the format of teaching Japanese in Japanese is very engaging.

This course summarizes a lot of important grammar which is useful in our conversations and written work. Understanding and practising the use of grammar and vocabulary is all by self-effort though.

Easy to understand as subtitle is in English..

Video lessons are very helpful. The only downside is that there aren't enough exercises available for studying the learned grammar points, so you need to use other books for mastering the grammar.

Provides important points. But sometimes (2 times so far and I've just finished the second lesson) explanation wasn't enough and I had to check from youtube. We need simple explanations since all students are not native.

This is an incredible course! I've personally taken (and passed) the JLPT N3, but I am finding that I built a rather shaky foundation focusing almost exclusively on learning by using flashcards to memorize rather than understand the language. This course, on the other hand, provides you with clear explanations that are much better than any textbook I've encountered (Genki, Yookoso, and Minna no Nihongo mainly). One of the main gripes with Attain Corporation's classes that I've seen in other reviews is that the material does not provide enough exercises, so one is effectively learning the language passively. And, if one uses the course this way, they're right. However, I'd like to offer some suggestions to help make this course a more active endeavor, so that you build language skill instead of merely watching it like a movie, getting bored. First, don't waste time making flashcards; instead do some review exercises with the list of vocabulary (e.g., covering the translations of Japanese words and quizzing yourself). But don't make this your main mode of study; use it as a starting place. The main exercise I suggest you do is one you create yourself: writing a story. This can be done many ways, but I suggest keeping these couple rules rigid: write something that uses every word from the vocabulary list at least once, and use every grammatical structure at least once. The most straight-forward thing to write would be either a modified/brand new version of the provided dialogue, or you could try writing a short story with characters that you create. Then post it on Lang-8. This will ensure that you understand the usage of the words and practice using them, rather than memorizing them now only to forget them soon after. This course is an incredible foundation to facilitate these exercises, and since the teacher uses exclusively Japanese to communicate verbally, you build listening skills almost automatically. Granted the dialogues can sound a bit cringy, but they seem like incredible actors compared to the stuff people used to use in language textbook supplemental CDs (just look up the Genki dialogues.. Oh my are they bad).
