About the course
Review and practice the basic structures introduced in the Beginners course. Topics include transport, accommodation and restaurants. Learn more expressions for specific situations like shopping and dining as well as the appropriate cultural behaviours in each situation. Discuss and share your experience of learning Japanese language and culture. Your teacher will write Japanese using Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji scripts. She will also use Romaji (the alphabet) to help you pronounce words. There will be lots of speaking exercises and interaction with other students. Usually, homework is not assigned.
On completion of this course you will be able to:
- talk about yourself e.g. "I like sushi".
- use phrases introduced in the Beginners course in various situations e.g. airports
- better understand and discuss aspects of Japanese language and culture e.g. ryokan (Japanese inns)
- recognise a few Japanese symbols
Prerequisites
This course is designed for adult learners who have taken a Beginners course or similar. Those who have taken Japanese at school may take it as a revision course but should be aware the level and pace are easy.
