IN06 · Education

Before you start

This level assumes the elementary level and elementary grammar. From here on, words are in kanji with their reading above; in the reading round you'll see the kanji alone.

This lesson assumes what you saw in the earlier ones. If something feels shaky, go back to it:

• IN01understanding simple headlines
• IN02talking about society
• IN03talking about the planet
• IN04buying and paying wisely
• IN05talking about devices and faults

What you learn

Many study words take する: そつぎょうする (graduate), にゅうがくする (enter a school), りゅうがくする (study abroad).

You practise them in kana; underneath you can see how they are usually written.
