New Intermediate Lessons

Posted: 2021-11-12, Tags: lessons newfeatures study
We are very excited to announce that our updated Intermediate Lessons are now officially out of beta*, and fully ready to use!
The new Intermediate Lessons provide the perfect stepping stone from beginner level Japanese through to high intermediate. Starting with a recap of all material covered in the Beginner Lessons, the lessons cover 1000 kanji. Additionally, the 55 lessons will introduce you to about 1500 of the most useful words using the lesson kanji. Each lesson also introduces a handful of critical grammar points, covering about 300 in total, illustrated with nearly 2500 example sentences. Completing the series covers all the material you need to pass the JLPT N2 (the second highest level).
You can study an intermediate lesson at any time by visiting the [lesson index](/ilessons). A link to the lesson index is in the top STUDY menu on every page. You can also find the lessons via the [Study index page](/study) in the INFORMATION AND HELP section of the bottom menu on every page.
The lessons use a great new format, with your mastery of the material clearly visible in the home page of each lesson. Each lesson includes a wide range of study activities, including a slideshow introducing all the material, flashcards and kanji drawing practice, as well as around ten fun and engaging study games. You can test yourself on the material at any time for study or revision, and if you know the material, you can take a 'Boost Test' to test up to the next lesson. This makes the Intermediate Lessons great revision material even for advanced students.
Key features of the new Intermediate Lesson series:
  • 55 lessons covering 1000 kanji, 1500 key words, and 300 grammar points
  • Covers all the material for JLPT N5 through N2
  • Introductory slideshow covering lesson content with 'points of interest' and notes
  • Flashcards, kanji drawing practice, 10 study games
  • Visual summary of your mastery of the kanji, words and grammar in each lesson
  • Three ways to finish a lesson - complete the lesson exercises, 'Test up', or just get your mastery of the content high enough using any of Kanshudo's study tools and games
If you are using the AI-generated study recommendations on your Dashboard to study on Kanshudo (the recommended way to study), you will automatically see recommendations for Intermediate Lessons as you progress. You can tell Kanshudo to focus your study tasks on the Intermediate Lessons by setting your lesson series to the Intermediate Lessons on your account page. You will start to receive intermediate lesson study recommendations automatically once your Japanese mastery level reaches 20.
* We removed the 'beta' tag from the lessons a few months ago once the lesson content and functionality were complete, but since then we have put a lot of time into improving [Grammar Match](/play/grammarmatch_first) to cover almost all of the 300+ grammar points in the lessons.

Kanshudo is your AI Japanese tutor, and your constant companion on the road to mastery of the Japanese language. To get started learning Japanese, just follow the study recommendations on your Dashboard. You can use Quick search (accessible using the icon at the top of every page) to look up any Japanese word, kanji or grammar point, as well as to find anything on Kanshudo quickly. For an overview, take the tour.
