Everything about the class is designed to help you learn real-world Japanese in a convenient and supportive online environment.

What material will an Indianapolis Japanese course cover?Japanese, unlike other Indo-European languages, doesn't have a strict rule on word order in sentences. All you have to remember is that the verb comes last in a sentence. For example:

English = I drink water Japanese = I water drink

There is also no gender for nouns in Japanese, no article, and no grammatical number. For example, the noun "hon" or book can refer to one book or several books. When the number is important in a sentence, a counter may be used to indicate that there is more than one item. There are also nouns that are naturally plural such as "hitobito" or people.

You'll also learn the Japanese writing system, and your instructor can guide you on the proper writing order of different characters. Basically, there are three characters in Japanese: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. At the elementary level, most students don't have a problem getting used to the first two characters. Kanji is probably the most challenging aspect of Japanese since you need to learn how to write and read them in different ways.

Throughout an Indianapolis Japanese class, you will also dabble in Japanese culture and learn more about Japanese society, customs, and traditions.
