About Japanese N2
B2 is the upper-intermediate tier of CEFR. At B2 you can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible, produce clear detailed text on a wide range of subjects, and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue. B2 is the level most universities and employers mean when they ask for 'fluent Japanese'.
How to learn Japanese N2
B2 takes 3-6 months on top of B1. Continue reviewing A1-B1 (5-minute daily) and add 50-100 new B2 words per week. Read Japanese news and long-form journalism, listen to Japanese podcasts at natural speed, and try writing 500-1000 word essays for correction. By the end of B2 you should be able to debate any familiar topic in Japanese and read most non-technical Japanese text without a dictionary.
