Course description
JAPN1011 is a course for students beginning the study of Japanese who wish to take two courses per semester in the concentrated progression. This course must be taken at the same time as JAPN1012. This course is designed to introduce students to the Japanese language and develop conversational skills for use in everyday situations. Students learn to read and write in Japanese using two phonetic syllabaries, hiragana and katakana, and approximately 100 kanji (Chinese characters). Cultural aspects are integrated into the course.
