Studying Japanese
Japanese classes for intermediate and advanced students meet twice weekly. Small class sizes ensure ample opportunity for individual attention. Students of intermediate Japanese build on their foundational skills, focusing on complex sentence patterns and expressions while continuing to study kanji. Study continues at the advanced level, where students focus on expressing ideas and opinions about current events and cultural topics while reading newspapers, magazines, and Internet articles. We tailor beginner-level study to each student’s needs through individualized study plans. Japanese study support is also available.
