JLPT N3 December 2025 Special Course
The next JLPT is in December. Now’s the time to prepare with focus, strategy, and support. No more random cramming or studying alone.
Our 90-day online JLPT course is designed to keep you motivated and on track during the most critical phase of your prep, so you can walk into the exam room feeling confident and ready.
💡 Why Join This Course?
The last three months before the JLPT are the hardest: motivation dips, it’s tough to stay consistent, and you’re unsure where to focus. That’s why we created this course.
In this course, you’ll:
✅ Sharpen your reading and listening comprehension, the sections most learners struggle with.
✅ Practice JLPT-style questions to get familiar with the test format.
✅ Learn time management and test strategies so you don’t just work hard, but you also work smart.
✅ Get personalized feedback and guidance when you hit roadblocks.
We focus class time on what’s hardest to do alone: comprehension, strategy, and practice. Vocabulary and grammar review? That’s for your self-study time, but we’ll point you to good resources and support you all the way.

"The teacher makes learning a really fun and interactive experience. They also did a great job at the beginning of finding the right entry level for me and the fellow students - with everybody at a similar level, it is even more motivating to study and improve together. I look forward to continuing my studies and improving my Japanese abilities, and can sincerely recommend Nihongo Picnic to anyone."

"This is my 2nd class and I've had different teachers for each. Both teachers made sure we understand the grammar and vocabularies. Pretty satisfied that Nihongo Picnic listens to students' feedback. For instance, we asked for news articles for reading from last class and then my next class had news articles for reading comprehension."
