Approach
You will work on listening and speaking in class, in pairs and with targeted exercises. The teacher covers grammar and lessons from the book and provides additional explanation with handouts, glossaries and examples on the board. In this way, you actively practice the language and notice step by step that you start using Japanese more and more naturally in everyday situations.
Teaching Materials
You work with “Genki 1 Third Edition” and its workbook, supplemented by handouts for grammar and vocabulary lists. This way you not only practice the rules, but also apply the language directly in reading, writing, listening and speaking. Before the start of the course, we will inform you how you can easily order the teaching materials so that you can start your lesson well prepared.
Teachers
You will be taught by an experienced teacher who will personally guide you as you learn Japanese. The teacher will provide targeted feedback on your pronunciation, grammar and communication. You will also gain insight into Japanese culture, customs and language usage so that the language really comes alive.
Certificate of Participation
You will receive a certificate of participation from us if you have actively participated in at least 80% of the meetings.
