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 renjoyed every aspect of the course.

The topics on technology, city infrastructure, food science (seasoning, enzymes) are most interesting. The vocabulary and grammar is very applicable to everyday life. The final week 7 examination is a challenge as it tests all previous material studied and also introduces new readings. The specialized vocabulary together with the end of week interviews of various Professors in different areas of study will be particularly useful for those thinking of taking the JLPT examinations (N2 or equivalent). All in all I loved this course. The presentations were really engaging. I enjoyed learning the grammar and completing the numerous exercises. I allocated 90 minutes each day for study and certainly could see my Japanese ability and confidence increasing each week. I look forward to beginning course 2 in this series.

(japanese language learning centered) overall enjoyable, well structured courses, in never disapointing japanese presentation style, clear and neat. materials topic not very recent/deep discovery/research(rather layman short documentry/brief news article like) yet interesting enough. great for those wish to enhance reading jp sci tech related articles, tho intermediate lv, a bit too easy for N1 and too difficult for N5 (japanese KANA/kanji input is a MUST for quizs, may use google translate online input keyboard/writing pad instead? idk). yet still good start for basic lv foreign learner intend to go japanese related academic (or at least read materials) or some sort of extra excercises for JPLT

great course of any intermediate student of Japanese - you'll expand your vocabulary, grammar, and language sense, along with increasing your reading and listening skills - I especially recommend printing out readings and going over them several times, reading them aloud, and please follow the written transcript of the interviews after having listened to them several times. Also shadowing the instructor will be very helpful. 皆さんどうぞ日本語の勉強をお互いに深くやりましょうね：ーD

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.

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!

I really love this course! The professor is so gentle, and the other professors of different topics bring me a lot of interest into science. Hope to study in Tokyo University oneday!

I enjoyed it. It was a bit higher than my current skill level, but thanks to the furiganas, I was able to comprehend and learn new words.

I enjoyed the reading and listening materials about current technologies. It is ideally suited for N3 or above Japanese learners.

The pace of the lessons is just right and appropriate with the level which is intermediate. I enjoyed the course pretty well :)

It is a very excellent course! The design, animation, and text are very great! It is very helpful for me.

Very fulfilling. I learned important vocabularies and got better at understanding Japanese grammars.

Great course with amazing interviews! Many thanks for the opportunity to learn from you.

Muy bueno aunque la version gratis solo se puede estudiar el primer capitulo de 6.

It is really useful for people who just learned basic Japanese!!

It's a very nice couse. I like the course design.

コースの内容が分かりやすいです。もっと勉強したいと思います。

Thank you very much!

案内も流れもとてもよかったです。

Useful contents

Very useful!

Nice class!

Great!!!

Good

Good course overall. Not that difficult if you already had level of N3 and can be finished in only one week. For me, it is more like a review. It would be better if the answers or feedbacks be provided. I got 98% in my final exam but I don't know where is my mistake.
