Japanese language course: MISJ NOVICE PROGRAM LEVEL 2
What you'll learn
- 45 Kanji characters：かんじ（４５）
- New topics of grammar are; how to connect two sentences directly, how to modify NOUNS with two ADJECTIVES, how to make 「てFORM」, and how to use various 「てFORM」-based expressions and VERBS.
- New conversational topics are; talking about likes & dislikes (expanded), talking about skills, how to ask someone for a favor, how to talk about situations, how to talk about giving & receiving.
Requirements
- The willingness to learn more about Japanese language and culture.
- English listening ability. Because, although more than 80% of the explanations are given in Japanese, explanations about Japanese culture are still given in English.
- Can readひらがな,カタカナ, and someかんじ.
- Can convert VERBS in 「DICTIONARY FORM」 into 「ますFORM」.
- This program consists of two sections, the first ADJECTIVE section and the second VERB section (Lesson 14 ～ Lesson 17-2). You may start with either section. However, each section is carefully designed so that you can learn everything systematically. So, when you study each section for the first time, be sure to watch the videos from the beginning, in order, without jumping around to random topics. When you review, of course, you may watch them in any order.
Description
This is the second of four levels of the MISJ NOVICE PROGRAM.
If you are not so confident in making Japanese sentences and handling these sentences in conversations, I suggest that you start your brush-up study with the MISJ WELCOME PROGRAM.
Although the WELCOME PROGRAM is the course for beginners, it also helps people who want to re-build a solid foundation of Japanese language study. You can learn all the basic knowledge of grammar that is indispensable for achieving conversational skills.
Who this course is for:
- Finished learning the MISJ WELCOME PROGRAM and the NOVICE PROGRAM LEVEL 1 is ideal.
- However, if you have some experience of learning Japanese and have basic knowledge of grammar, it would be fine.
