The purpose of this course is to further develop your everyday communication skills in Japanese, both written and spoken. You will be able to expand on what you learned in Year 12 Japanese. You will deepen your understanding of Japanese to be able to understand and talk about unfamiliar topics. 

Topics will include careers, education and student life, nature and the environment, and life in Japan.

Pathway
