Grammatical topics include demonstratives, honorifics and the humble form, pronouns, interrogatives, negation, descriptive and action verbs, plural markers, irregular verbs, and conjunctions. After completing Level 2, students can expect to be able to make requests, ask for assistance and discuss their daily schedule of activities. Building upon the basic foundation provided in Level 1, topics include expressions of time and date, interrogatives, numbers, present and past formal tenses, the polite informal style, future tense markers, conjunctions and plural forms. Listening skills and proper pronunciation continue to be strongly emphasized. Since communication in a foreign language requires an understanding of the cultural context, our aim is to teach you the living language through carefully selected textbooks, newspaper and magazine articles and other relevant materials, rather than have you repeat and memorize tourist phrases.
Teachers provide suggestions for texts and supplementary materials for all levels.
