This class is taught in English.

Students will learn the fundamentals of conversational Japanese language, which include:
*Introducing yourself/greetings including the country of origin, family structure, age, etc.
*Talking about your city.
*Inviting someone to visit you.
*Asking simple questions about an object and a person.
*Expressing preferences.
*Talking about weather.
*Sending an invitation.

I use a lot of visuals and ask students to participate in various hands-on activities.

In addition, students will learn to write their name in Japanese and learn Hiragana symbols.
