Immersion in authentic materials is the fastest way to reach N2 fluency. Month 2 emphasizes real-world Japanese as it is used by native speakers every day.
Formal speech · Keigo intro · Debate and discussion
Month 3 sharpens your spoken Japanese, teaching you to switch naturally between registers and engage in structured discussion on complex topics.
