2015 年静岡大学で日本語集中コースを受けた韓国人学生です 集中コースを受けた結果 私は短期間内に日本語能力を早く向上させることができました 単語 文法 読解 聴解等 日本語の基礎的な部分全部を具体的に勉強できたことが理由だと思っています 特に私は漢字の実力が上がりました この授業は日本語能力を上げたい留学生には本当に役に立つ授業だと思います I came from Korea and I took the intermediate intensive course in 2015. This course remarkably improved my Japanese proficiency in 4 months. I studied vocabularies, grammar and Kanji. I trained reading and writing skills in the course. That is why I m an advanced Japanese learner and I m good at Kanji now. I strongly recommend this useful course to all students who want to improve thier Japanese in a short time.
