FULL TARGET CURRICULUM
Tracks 0–10
TRACK 3 · 3-8
Expanding Conversation + Track 3 Capstone
Move beyond one-word evaluations by combining adjective statements, reasons from context, preferences, contrasts, and follow-up questions in a professional conversation.
- Track 3 adjective classes, tense, preferences, and adverb forms.
Knowing '便利です' is useful; being able to sustain a short exchange about why a tool is convenient, whether the old one was difficult, and what you prefer is much more useful.
1. Expand a minimal answer one layer at a time
Start with a description, add a concrete detail, then ask or answer a follow-up. You do not need advanced conjunctions yet; short linked turns are natural beginner communication.
2. Read a technical preference conversation
Identify adjective class, tense, and preference structure before reading the English.
How is the new tool?
It's convenient. It's fast.
Was the previous tool difficult?
Yes. It wasn't very convenient.
Which do you prefer?
I prefer the new tool.
3. Track 3 handwritten review homework

Language IDE
Why here: Adjective class errors are structural and benefit from explicit refactoring.
How to use it for this lesson: Rebuild five capstone lines and run positive/negative/past/adverb refactors while keeping the noun constant.
Debug Track 3 →Tsundoku Reading Nook
Why here: Descriptive reading tests whether adjective forms are recognizable outside drills.
How to use it for this lesson: Find 5 adjective predicates/phrases and classify class + tense before translation.
Read with Track 3 eyes →Japanese Adaptive Recall
Why here: Keep only persistent adjective/class/form errors.
How to use it for this lesson: Add no more than 10 high-value items—especially trap な-adjectives or transformations that still hesitate.
Build selective review →5. Track 3 exit gate
You are ready for Track 4 when you can classify common い/な adjectives, describe nouns and states in present/past positive/negative, express likes/dislikes with が, convert adjectives to adverbs, and sustain a short descriptive exchange.
Mastery checkpoint
Answer without looking back. Use any miss to identify the exact rule or vocabulary gap that needs another pass.
