WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS COURSE?
Although it is short, this course aims to provide students with a real language learning experience. You will probably learn fewer words and expressions than many other courses that rely on memorization and direct translation. However, this course ensures that you will know exactly WHEN and HOW to use the expressions you are going to learn. For example, in many courses you only learn "arigatoo" and "arigatoo gozaimasu" as Japanese "thank you," but these are not the "thank you" we native speakers use when waiters/waitresses bring us food in a restaurant. WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE EXPRESSION, then? We use a different "thank you" when we leave the restaurant, too. WHY IS THAT? This course answers these questions with very clear, simple explanations and helps you master the usages of practical Japanese expressions, which will give you a good start for learning the language.
