[Notes]
Individual Differences and Efficiency: Study time varies greatly depending on the student's native language, learning environment, individual ability, concentration level, and the quality of the learning materials. The above is a general guideline.
JLPT Relationship: The study time required to pass the JLPT is generally estimated at approximately 450-700 hours for beginners (N5-N4) and approximately 2,500-3,000 hours in total for intermediate and advanced levels (N3-N1). The hours in this proposed curriculum are based on these standard guidelines.
Time allocation: As you progress to the intermediate and advanced levels, it becomes more important to allocate time to output activities such as reading comprehension and writing rather than input learning of grammar and vocabulary.
