Cursusmateriaal Japans niveau 6
The course material is written in English, so a basic understanding of English is needed.
Japanese level 6 is intended for students with an intermediate knowledge of the Japanese language. You should already be able to conduct short conversations on everyday topics such as your plans for the weekend or something you have experienced.
After this course you will know how to speak politely about negative situations, for example by expressing regret or disappointment or offering an apology. You will also be able to clearly convey simple information, give instructions and retell a story you have heard.
The course is taught in Japanese and English.
The intake procedure for this course consists of: online intake conversation.
After you have enrolled for this course, we will invite you for an assessment to determine your level. We recommend that you enrol at least two weeks before the start of the course. If you enrol later than this, we cannot guarantee there will be time for the intake procedure.
If you have completed the Japanese level 5 course at UvA Talen, an assessment will not be necessary.
During Japanese Level 6 you will learn around 150 new words, so by the end of the course you will know around 950 Japanese words. You can learn 50 new Kanji characters (250 in total) through self-study. Your teacher will be happy to provide you with the information needed to support your efforts.
You will learn more about different verb forms that change according to who you are speaking to and who you are talking about (かしてあげる、かしてくれる、かしてもらう). You will also learn how to use conditional sentences (天気がよかったら、さんぽします) and you will learn more about the use of auxiliary verbs (食べてみる、買っておく).
The final level of this course is equal to half of Level N4 of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT).
You will complete the course with an oral and written exam.
If you successfully complete this course, you will receive a certificate showing the level you have attained and you will be able to continue to Japanese level 7.

There is no difference in the course content and course material between the online and in class course, only a difference in format. The online courses take place via Zoom and the in class courses at the Roeterseiland in Amsterdam. By using breakout-rooms teachers will aim to provide the same interaction as during an in class course. In both formats students are expected to actively participate in the course.
The choice for an online or in class course depends on your personal preference for location and teaching style.
It is not possible to combine an online and in class course. If you start a course online, you will follow the entire course online. The same applies to in class courses. This is in order to ensure the peace in our classes and avoid a lot of changes between classes.
Students generally need to spend double the amount of time of the course on studying by themselves. This means that if your course is 40 hours of class, you can expect about 80 hours of homework and self study. In our experience, the more time you invest in homework, the more you benefit from your course.
In the week before the start of the course you will receive your final course confirmation which mentions your teacher.
At UvA Talen we have a variety of professional teachers with years of experience teaching to adults. Due to our feedback sessions with teacher we can guarantee the quality of our teachers. We have set standards for the qualification of our teacher. Depending on the type of course, we will often choose for a native speaker of your language.
Awesome! I had an amazing teacher who was so calm, clear, and supportive. It was an enjoyable space to learn a new language, UvA Talen was definitely the right place for me!
