Teacher: Ms. Kazuko Yasutake

Book: Japanese for Busy People, Vol. 1 Revised 3rd Edition (kana version), lessons 1-7. Please note that teaching materials and lessons covered may vary slightly from class to class.  Kana version might be challenging at first for those who are taking Beginning I class. However, it might be a better textbook for Beginning II & III classes.  JBP Volume 1 Workbook is also used for more listening and conversation practices.

The Beginning Series focuses primarily on the development of basic conversational skills and an understanding of Japanese as it is currently spoken in Japan. Please note that Beginning I is for students with NO previous Japanese experience. Beginning I will cover topics such as: introductions, address and telephone number, day and time, how much and counting. Beginning II, Beginning III, etc., assume some familiarity with the language. Check the book for a gauge of your level.
