GCSE Japanese Resources
Exercises for Teens who can read Japanese
Resources for Teenagers
Japanese language textbooks are useful but some content is less relevant to young learners. If you are considering GCSE Japanese (an exam for 16-year-olds in the UK), topics such as 'school' are not covered. There are no GCSE Japanese textbooks or revision books in bookstores so it is difficult to find materials.
As a tutor, I search for resources and make exercises for my students, and I would like to share them with you. These are suitable for those who can read Hiragana and Katakana. If you are a complete beginner, please check how to start learning Japanese.
