includedClass Experience
This course will take place as four 45 minutes classes. Lesson 1: Greetings and other useful phrases We will learn basic greeting phrases, yes and no, numbers, and other useful words and phrases. Lesson 2: Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji We will talk about how Japanese language is described. Differences between hiragana, katakana, and kanji will be explained. Lesson 3: Sentence structure Japanese sentences are structured differently from English sentences. We will compare the two languages to understand that Japanese has a different language system. Lesson 4: Japanese culture We will talk about how Japanese language reflects Japanese culture. For example, relationships between people are different from many other countries, and such Japanese social norms must be considered when composing sentences.
