About this course
The course extends Japanese grammar and functions beyond basic structures, covering ways to express readiness, make strong suggestions, describe simultaneous actions and modify noun clauses using the plain form. Learners also work with Kanji and compound words connected with everyday life, alongside Japanese culture and customs. Teaching focuses on spoken interaction and communication through pair and group work, role plays and games, supported by presentations, hand-outs and audio-visual resources. Homework is highly recommended to consolidate the classwork.
