Japanese practice: drills, checkpoints and skills

単語tango · words14 drills確認kakunin · checking9 checkpoints練習renshū · skills7 skills pages
練習 renshū, “practice”, is what Japanese students call their drills and rehearsals.

Short answer: practice turns what you read in the course into something you can use. Vocabulary drills fix the words of each topic, with audio and a quiz. Checkpoints test each stage of the course before you move on. Skills pages train reading, listening, speaking and writing, from first texts to natural-speed Japanese. Ten minutes a day beats an hour once a week.

Vocabulary drills

Each drill takes the words from one topic guide. Study the list, then quiz yourself.

Checkpoints: one per stage

A short quiz at the end of each stage of the course. If you score well, move on; if not, the results point you back to the parts to review.
