Features: Improving comprehensive Japanese ability is a gradual process. Whether it's the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) organized by Japan, the Japanese School Examination for Study Abroad, or the Japanese major's Level 4 and Level 8 exams in China, a clear trend is that they are increasingly emphasizing the assessment of the five core skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translation. Therefore, cultivating comprehensive language application skills and the ability to understand Japanese local culture have become the top priorities in Japanese language teaching. However, current Japanese language teaching is often limited to single-subject training such as basic, listening, and conversation, which unconsciously restricts many Japanese enthusiasts and even Japanese major students. After a period of study, the drawbacks of outdated knowledge, narrow knowledge scope, limited understanding of Japan (the target language country), and low comprehensive application ability become evident. Moreover, their strong desire to learn often leaves them unsure where to start.
