Intro to Japanese 3 will consist of a full introduction into 10 of the most common verbs.   Along with the verbs, students will learn common nouns and vocabulary sets that can be used along with them.    We will cover two verbs per week for 8 weeks.  Students will learn to fully conjugate each present tense verb using the ~masu and ~ru forms. They will also learn the negative form of each.  For example, when we learn the verb TABERU / TABEMASU, ("to eat"), we will focus on common vocabulary sets that can go along with that verb (eat dinner, eat a hamburger, etc..) 

This will be an exciting development in your child's Japanese study as they have only been introduced to DESU ("is") and the negative form, JYA NAI DESU ("is not").  We will also continue to construct questions using our new verbs and vocabulary.  As a teacher, I am excited to open a new door of possibilities by introducing you child to basic Japanese sentence structure and verbs.
