Free online courseJLPT N4 Japanese Grammar (Genki 2)

Course Description

Reach the JLPT N4 level with stronger, more natural Japanese by focusing on the grammar patterns that appear constantly in real conversations and on the exam. This free online course uses the Genki II progression to make tricky structures feel predictable, so you can stop guessing and start forming sentences with confidence. Each lesson explains what a pattern means, when it is appropriate, and how it changes nuance, helping you choose the right form for the situation instead of relying on direct translation.

You will build practical control over essential verb forms and expressions, including talking about ability, making invitations and intentions, asking for actions with the right level of politeness, and reporting information you heard accurately. As you advance, you will also strengthen the grammar that often challenges learners at N4: respectful language for formal contexts, humble expressions, and the mechanics of passive, causative, and causative-passive forms so you can describe what happened and who was involved without confusion.

To turn explanations into usable skill, the course includes targeted questions and exercises that check your understanding of conjugation choices, particle use, and meaning. That practice helps you spot common traps, recognize patterns quickly while reading, and produce cleaner Japanese when writing or speaking. If you are preparing for JLPT N4, returning to Genki II for review, or aiming to communicate more politely and precisely in Japanese, this course gives you a structured, supportive path from knowing rules to using them automatically.
