Class Experience

This 4-week course will cover the basics of speaking Japanese, including basic sentence structure, the difference between the 3 alphabets, and core vocabulary/phrases for basic conversation. We will also incorporate fun facts about Japanese culture.

Here are the topics to be covered each week:
Week 1: The Basics & Introductions
Week 2: Common Phrases
Week 3: "I like..." Seasons, Colors, etc.
Week 4: Travel Phrases

When learning a language, even more important than hearing a word is using it! We will practice basic words and phrases by both listening to and using them. As a flex course, we will not meet live in person. Instead, I will post weekly lesson videos and ask each student to submit a video project using the language learned that week. For example, for week 1 students will post a video introducing themselves in Japanese.
Each week, students will:
1) Watch lesson video (participate in repeat-after-me exercises)
2) Complete review quiz/game of choice (via Quizlet; link will be provided)
3) Record video project (detailed instructions will be provided each week)
4) Participate in discussion board (we'll discuss one part of Japanese culture together each week)
I will post a weekly announcement with detailed instructions for the week's activities.

Students will interact with each other by responding to video projects and participating in the discussion boards. I will also interact with students by giving feedback on each video project and by facilitating discussions/answering questions on the discussion board.

Learning Goals

By the end of this course, students will be comfortable with introducing themselves and using basic phrases in Japanese.

This course is meant to be followed by "Japanese for Beginners: Part II".
