Class Experience
Did part 1 of Essential Japanese help build your confidence when speaking Japanese? I hope it did. If you thought part 1 was helpful, well part 2 will be even more helpful as we will dive not only into the words but part of the culture as well. Even though I had visited Japan and knew many of the words, I didn't know that some of these words can have different meanings. I had used one word, instead of the correct one.

- You will be able to: 1. Say I'm sorry (Did you know there are different ways to say I'm sorry based on the situation?) 2. How to ask for things close to you, close to someone else and far away from someone. 3. Tell someone they got you the wrong thing for you. 4. Ask where the bathroom and other places are. 5. Explain to others that you don't understand what they are saying 6. Know this magical word that can imply who, what or where
