Class Experience

In this ongoing class, students will develop vocabularies, phrases, basic writing, and gain confidence in speaking Japanese. This class is for those who have completed my Introductory Level 1 or who have knowledge in some phrases and greetings. We will begin with the review from Level 1 including the Hiragana symbols. Please note that students are responsible for reviewing any writing symbols once they are taught. Since language learning is continuous, phrases/vocabulary/grammar will be revisited and practiced frequently.  Students can start this class at any week. I will provide a self-paced basic writing lesson link for those who haven't learned the Hiragana and Katakana or for those would like more reviews.  Here are the topics for the first 8 weeks:
 
Week of 01/09/2023     Self-Introduction, What is this?, What do you like?, Hiragana Review 
Week of 01/16/2023      Family, Ko-So-A-Do, Hiragana.  
Week of 01/23/2023      Possession, Pronouns,  Hiragana.

Week of 02/20/2023     There is/are ......., Hiragana.    
Week of  02/27/2023     Position Words, Finish Hiragana.

Each lesson consists of: practice pronunciation and sentences, Q & A, short dialogue, and role play.  A textbook/workbook will be provided for every 8 weeks.  I can also share my presentation slides upon request.

Please be mindful that the class will be cancelled if there are fewer than 3 enrollees.
