There is a reason why Intensive Japanese Course is called "Intensive"...

Because it is Intensive...

Level is pre-intermediate. Does not mean easy...

Three times a week, twice 70 minutes a time. And we have to learn the material (chapter) before the class and review after the class. Plus the home work.

We are going through the first textbook in a month, spending about one day (140 minutes) on one chapter. We will then switch to the second textbook, spending two days on each chapter.

Learning the material includes learning about 20-30 new words (vocabulary and kanji). Some I already know, most I don't (especially kanji).

Grammar is also getting more difficult, with long sentences that connect ideas. Instead of the more simple ones we can find in lower level.
