Class Experience

Beginner Level
In this class, learners will learn a little complicated phrases. I will use more Japanese than English in this class.
All writings will be in Hiragana and Katakana. We will also learn basic Kanji.

Followings are an example of lessons for the first four weeks.

Week 1: Talk about our experiences. (using past tense, explaining reasons, etc.)
Week 2: Talk about how and how long we have been studying Japanese.
Week 3: Filling in forms (name and address)
Week 4: Telling your future plans. (telling your host family when you are coming back tonight, etc.)

Each week, I will use slides to show pictures. 
Each class has a topic to cover, but there is a room for learners to request other topics of their interest. 

This class is for learners with knowledge on basic Japanese phrases and writings.
