What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Students will be given worksheets to print out after the class to reinforce their learning. Because this class meets once, this is optional and they have the choice to send their homework to me to look over. They will get a vocabulary list that goes over everything they have studiedAssessment
I do not routinely give an assessment at the end of the class. However, if a student or parent would like an assessment, they may request one by emailing me.Class Experience
Have you ever been to Japan and gotten stuck? Do you want to go to Japan, but are too scared because you don't know the language? Well, have no fear, this series will definitely help you. This course will bring you essential Japanese that you need to comfortably travel as well as provide you with some history and culture behind the words. I really wish I'd had this series before I went to live in Japan. I was thrown into Japanese life without any help, not knowing what to say or how to respond to situations. I probably made many mistakes. But with this Japanese course, you won't be making the same mistakes that I did. You will be able to: Banks: 1. Know what a bank is 2. Know how to exchange money/ask to exchange money 3. Know about Traveler's checks/how to exchange them 4. Ask what the exchange rate is 5. Ask if they have an ATM 6. Ask where the ATM is and the polite answers (Here, There, Way over there) 7. Find out how to withdraw money Plus, as an extra bonus, I will throw in some interesting facts about the words you are learning called Sam's fun facts. Something that other courses probably won't mention There is a pre-requisite you will need to either know everything in the Essential Japanese for Travel Class 1 or have take the class. You will definitely not want to miss this class. You will be surprised, a little Japanese will take you a long way.
