This is for people with little or no previous knowledge of Japanese language (Roma-ji and Hiragana). Basic conversation will be taught along with some elementary reading and written work. Some Japanese customs for business and social use will also be discussed. To gain the maximum benefit it is suggested students commit 2 or more hours per week to independent study.
