With a little bit of experimenting, I have combined two learning methods into one, both to help the learner succeed and master the Japanese language and understand the Japanese culture. This class is designed to help the student become fluent in Japanese and to understand the culture behind not only the language but also the people.

I will first put the student into a situation and then give them sentences to respond to those situations. The sentences will then be broken down into vocabulary and grammar. Each lesson will focus on one or two grammar points with more situations as examples. 

In this lesson, they will also learn the first five letters of the Japanese alphabet. 

In this lesson, students will be able to

1. Review asking time (What time is it)
2. Review responding to time (It is 6:30)
3. Learn how to ask from what time till what time. (from 4:30 to 6:30)
4. Learn the next five words (ガ、ギ、グ、ゲ、ゴ）

You will get all three in one-course culture, language and the writing, probably something other classes do not delve into.

You will enjoy the powerpoint slides and optional homework. We will study in an upbeat intereactive way, something you do not want to miss.
