Curriculum

The academic year of UNITAS is divided into four "quarters".
You can study for 3months as a short-term course student or for 2years as a pre-college visa student in accordance with your learning objective.
Our classes are organized into 4 different levels: Beginner, Intermediate1, Intermediate 2 and Advanced. Placement into levels is determined from the result of the placement test, interview and students' needs analysis.
If you are a complete beginner, you will acquire basic structural foundation with 6months of study in beginner class.
After finishing the beginner level, you will have developed your four basic abilities of reading, writing, speaking and listening to a 1-year intermediate level.
At the advanced level, you will improve your skills in self-expression enough to debate, write essays and make presentations at universities or companies.
Beginner Class (Beginner1: 3months ･ Beginner2: 3months)
Starting from Hiragana and Katakana, you will learn basic grammar and vocabulary.
JLPT(The Japanese Language Proficiency Test) 3 and mastering 660 kanji is the final target of this level.
Intermediate Class (Intermediate1: 6months ･ Intermediate2: 6months)
Based on basic grammar knowledge you studied at the beginner level, you will move on to a more practical study of Japanese comprehension and its usage.
JLPT 1 or 2 and mastering 1,000 kanji is the final target of this level.
Advanced Class (6 months)
The target of the advanced level is to acquire a command of Japanese competing with a native speaker in a university class or business scenes.
