日本語レッスン　 Intermediate level

■Attention! You are required to book 2 lessons a week■
Welcome to my new class, "Challenge! Super intensive course". 
If you would like to start learning Japanese and kick start your first step, why don't you try my new course?
Let me explain my opinion and the reason why this course is effective for beginners. I am a qualified, professional Japanese teacher with 6+ years teaching experience. I've been teaching more than 300 students in total. I did a small personal experiment. I divided 15 totally beginner students into three groups. 
The 5 students in group A take 45mins lesson twice a week. The other 5 students in group B take 1.5 hour lesson once a week, and the others in group C take 1h lesson twice a week. 
I taught exact the same contents with same materials and had a exam after 4 weeks.  
Result is very clear. Average score of group C is 88％, group A is 84%, and group B is 72%. 
According to my student's exam result, I found out that the most effective lesson style for beginners is, taking lesson twice a week. The lesson length is not a big matter.  Of course the longer lesson the better, however based on my personal experiment, I concluded the important things is taking twice a week. 

If you are really eager to learn Japanese effectively and quickly, please try this course. 
In this course you will learn all 48 hiragana alphabets, basic grammar, more than 100 vocabs, and it stick on your brain for long! Also you will get all power point slides that I made for this course. For homework, you will be invited to my class on Quizlet flashcard app, then you can learn vocabs with playing flashcard game.
