  • Student A

    This course is great for anyone who wants to learn about scientific/technological topics through Japanese. It would also be great general practice for someone at JLPT N3/2 level. The course is well structured: each week starts with vocabulary and grammar around a particular topic. Gradually more difficult exercises are introduced over the course of the week culminating in a short interview with a real-life researcher in that topic. I enjoyed every aspect of the course.

  • Student B

    I really like how the vocabulary is recycled around the common theme of Science and Technology. The topics were interesting. I like the specialist interviews. I have no comments for how to improve the course. I hope that a continuation of this course for JPLT N2 learners will be available on coursera.

  • Student C

    Such an interesting journey! I thought it will be difficult for me as i am not into Science and all much, but it was super relevant and knowledgeable! Thank you for having this course!
