Have you ever wondered what classes are out there to help you become fluent in Japanese? I know I have. Well, I have designed this five-part beginner class (and more classes to come) to help you on your journey to becoming fluent. This class will not only help you learn grammar and vocabulary efficiently and effectively but will also help you learn about the culture and the people as well. 

I will put you in real-life situations where you will be encouraged to use Japanese to successfully communicate with others.

After this lesson, students will be able to:

Week 1:
1. Learn about becoming (I am becoming busy etc.)
2. Learn about "somewhere" and "nowhere" (want something, it's nothing etc).

Week 2: 

1. Explain what you are using to do something (I eat with chopsticks, I go by bike).
2. Review material learned in Mid-beginner classes 3 and 4.

Week 3: 

1. Do a review of the past lessons we have learned.
-Talk about plans for the next vacation
-Do a role-play for traveling and registering them.

2. Read a conversation between two different people

Week 4:

1. Learn the Kanji (to live, right, year, to sell, to buy, town, and long)
-Learn the combination of the kanjis (sell and store means stall)
-Learn the combination of things (to buy and thing means shopping

Week 5:

1. Learn the Kanji (way, to stand, self, night, morning to hold)
-Learn the combination of the kanjis (Self and school mean private university)
-Learn the combination of things (morning and food mean breakfast)


You will definitely enjoy this class. We will play in class games, provide visual aids to help guide discussion, group discussion and real life situations to solidify what to say in certain situations. Some examples of real life situations would be what would you say if someone stepped on your foot, if someone saw your messy room how would you explain it?

I want you to feel comfortable and engaged while learning.
