Class Experience

Have you ever wondered what classes are out there to help you become fluent in Japanese? I know I have. Well, I have designed this five-part beginner class (and more classes to come) to help you on your journey to becoming fluent. This class will not only help you learn grammar and vocabulary efficiently and effectively but will also help you learn about the culture and the people as well. 

I will put you in real-life situations where you will be encouraged to use Japanese to successfully communicate with others.

After this lesson, students will be able to 

Week 1:
1. Learn the kanji for yen and time
2. Learn how to say that something exists, both animate and inanimate objects
3. Describe where things are using doko.

Week 2:
1. Learn how to use the past tense

Week 3:
1. Learn more about mo (as well for verbs)
2. Learn about duration (one week, one hour, around)
3. Learn what "to" means

Week 4:

1. Learn the Kanji for (day, book, person, moon, fire, water and tree
2. Learn how to describe the days of the week, time words
3. Learn about different Japanese Expressions (like what?)

Week 5:
1. gold, soil, and weekday, up, down, middle, and half
2. Learn about adjectives

You will definitely enjoy this class. We will play games, have PowerPoint slides, group discussion and real life situations to solidify what to say in certain situations. I want you to feel comfortable and engaged while learning. 

There is a pre-requisite. You will either need to know how to read, write and speak Hiragana and Katakana before this class or take Hiragana and Katakana classes simultaneously. You will also need to have taken Road to Fluency Beginner Class 1 and class 2 part 1-4 or know all the material in this class.


Please bring an open mind and be ready to learn.
