Class Description:
This course is the first of a two-semester sequence of Beginning Japanese; it is for students who have no previous knowledge of Japanese. It aims to begin development of communication skills in Japanese. Therefore, we will work on the four basic skills of language (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) as well as culture-specific skills (do's and don'ts). The following topics are covered in this semester: 1. Meeting people for the first time 2. Shopping and eating out 3. Describing activities and extending/declining invitations 4. Describing locations and things in the past 5. Making offers and talking about travel 6. Making a request, asking for/giving permission, and talking about rules The course will cover lessons 1 through 6 of Genki including both dialogue/grammar and reading/writing. It is expected that, by the end of this semester, students will have basic conversation skills in situations like those noted above, as well as rudimentary literacy in Japanese. Two types of Japanese characters (hiragana and katakana), as well as 58 Chinese characters (kanji) will be learned.
