By learning while expanding your imagination, you will be able to make steady progress. In the introductory part of each section, pictures and illustrations of daily life situations are shown on the screen, and conversational sentences using the new grammar and sentence patterns are introduced. After that, the function conveyed by the grammar and sentence structure is clearly explained and indicated on the screen. What is spoken is also shown in English subtitles, which makes it easy for the learner to understand. In the practice part, learners can practice completing sentences using that grammar and sentence pattern in different situations, or connecting sentences to sentences or clauses to sentences. Afterwards, you will hear the correct sentence, and you can also repeat that sentence to learn proper pronunciation. In the final summary part, you can reconfirm the functions conveyed by that grammar and sentence structure, as well as word forms and conjunctions. By repeating this activity for each section, you will build up your grammatical knowledge and communication skills, as well as your ability to prepare for the JLPT N3.
