This course is an introduction to modern Japanese, both spoken and written.
Class meets daily, six hours a week.
Regular work in the language laboratory and Kanji workshop is required. Because language acquisition is easier the younger you are and because it takes a relatively long time to reach a useful level of proficiency in Japanese, students interested in the language should begin as soon as possible. Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. For This Course.
