Crossland Evening/Saturday High – Japanese 1

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Students will be taught to speak the language contextually in terms of greetings, school activities, limited social situations, counting and sports. They will be introduced to reading and writing through the phonetically based symbols called Hiragana and Katakana, eventually learning a pre-determined number of Japanese Kanji. Grammar will be taught through the structure of the Japanese language, especially the cultural context of the verb forms, as well as vocabulary expansion. Culture of the Japanese people will be an integral part of the course. It will be necessary for students to apply study skills consistently in order to succeed in both the oral and written aspects of this course.
