Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Do I need to know Hiragana before starting this course?
Yes. Japanese 7 does not use Romaji. All kanji readings are provided in Hiragana, so being able to read basic Hiragana is necessary to follow the lessons smoothly.
❓ Is this course suitable for complete beginners?
Not quite. This course is best for learners who already know Plain Form (covered in Japanese 6).
However, once you're comfortable with the basics, learning Potential and Volitional Forms early will help you speak more naturally and confidently in real conversations.
❓ Will this help me talk about what I can do or plan to do?
Absolutely. This course teaches you how to express ability, possibility, decisions, intentions, and suggestions — all essential for natural communication.
❓ When do the courses start and finish?
The course is completely self-paced. You can start anytime and take as long as you need to finish. There is no deadline, and you can review the lessons as often as you like.

You have lifetime access to all course materials, including videos and downloadable resources. You can review the lessons as many times as you like.

How quickly you progress depends on your study pace, but the course is designed to help you build confidence step by step.
❓ Will I receive personal feedback?
No. However, the course is structured for self-paced learning and includes clear, supportive lessons with plenty of guided practice so you can learn comfortably and confidently at your own pace.
❓ Does this course prepare me for the JLPT exam?
