Japanese I

Catalog description

An introductory course to the Japanese language and the cultures of its speakers. This course is designed for students with very little or no knowledge of Japanese. It facilitates the practical application of the language in everyday oral and written communication at the beginning level.

Students will learn structures that will enable them to function in Japanese in everyday contexts while becoming familiar with the Japanese speaking world. (CSU/UC) (AA/AS-3, CSU-C2, IGETC-6A)
