Features: Improving comprehensive Japanese ability is a gradual process. Whether it's the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), the Japanese School Admission Test (EJU), 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 culture has become a top priority in Japanese language teaching. However, current Japanese teaching often only focuses on single-subject training such as basic skills, listening, and conversation, which inadvertently restricts many Japanese enthusiasts and even Japanese majors. After a period of study, the drawbacks of outdated knowledge, narrow knowledge scope, limited understanding of Japan (the target language country), and low comprehensive application ability become evident.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.
