the Grammarian: 次第 (Pre-Advanced Japanese Grammar:JLPT N2)

The Grammarian is made to recognize and understand a grammar point in context.

The Grammarian is based on JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) N2 level (Pre-Advanced). Each video features one grammar point from the N2 grammar list.

The Grammarian will give you the practice you need to learn how to use a grammar point in your own sentences. You use the sentences from the video as templates to make your own. As you get used to it, you can do it from scratch.

The English translations are tiny intentionally. This is for you to process Japanese in Japanese without translating in your head. If you want to be able to use Japanese, there's no need to translate or understand in English. You want to be able to use Japanese, don't you?
