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 next five letters of the Japanese alphabet. 

In this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Learn how to talk about going places (using the verb to go)
2. Learn how to use the Japanese word for this (what's this)
3. Big review over what we have learned (including to go, to have, question words (what, when why)
5. Learn about the Japanese alphabet （な, に, ぬ, ね, の)

You will get all three in one-course culture, language and the writing, probably something other classes do not delve into. There is a pre-requisite. You will need to know parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this class.

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