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, students will be able to:

1. Learn about iru and eru verbs (verbs ending with e or 9)
2. Learn about Godan verbs (drop the ru and add masu)
3. Learn about the irregular verbs, verbs that do not follow the iru and eru rules or the Godan verb rules
4. Read some menu items in Japanese

You will get all three in one-course culture, language, and 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.

Please bring an open mind and be ready to learn.

Please note: "All material will be presented via PowerPoint and screen shared by the teacher. The games will also be screen shared by the teacher. Learners will not click links, access outsides websites, or need to login to any accounts."
