Japanese Course

 

We Offer 2 Levels of Japanese Language Classes; Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.
In the beginning, you'll learn the basics, the verbs in Masu and Mashita forms i.e. present and past. In addition to numbers, nouns, verbs and grammatical contests. The first writing system will be taught i.e. the Hiragana simultaneously while the course is taught in Romanji (English Alphabets) Later, more verbs conjugations will be taught, for instance the te form, tai form and dictionary forms. You'll have to study the second writing system i.e. the Katakana for writing foreign words. The course also includes a bit of Kanji.
