I begin by teaching basic grammar so that students can quickly begin to construct their own sentences.

Then I teach practical themes like greetings, counting, days of the week, colours, shapes, shopping, ordering and so on, and grammar: pronouns, particles such as 'wa' 'ga' 'no' 'de' and 'ni' , interrogative pronouns, adjectives, verbs, conjugated forms and so on.

What am I going to get from this course?

Understand the basic differences between English and Japanese
Engage in simple Japanese conversations
Understand basic Japanese nouns, adjectives, adverbs, verbs and grammar
Understand days of the week, numbers and time expressions
