Japanese Conversation for English Speakers 4
Learn intermediate level Japanese conversation with this course designed for English speakers. Improve your knowledge of expressions, grammar, and formality levels. Each lesson builds on the previous one, allowing for continuous learning and review. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to hold conversations in Japanese at an intermediate level. Perfect for learners who have completed sections 1, 2, and 3 or have prior knowledge of Japanese. Suitable for intermediate-level or advanced learners looking to review and enhance their skills.
What you’ll learn
- Understand the basic differences between English and Japanese
- Engage in simple and useful Japanese conversations (with a variety of expressions)
- Improve the knowledge of “Japanese conversation for English speakers” (the section 1, 2 and 3)
- Learn more advanced expressions (e.g. conditional forms, plain form of verbs and adjectives, relative clauses, etc.)
- Understand expressions with the different formality (from casual to formal level)
This course (section 4) is aimed at English speakers who would like to learn intermediate level Japanese conversation. If students have completed “Japanese conversation for English speakers (section 3)” or they have any prior relevant knowledge of Japanese, it would be perfect to improve their knowledge.
Students will be able to continuously learn a variety of expressions (e.g. 4 conditional forms, plain form of verbs and adjectives, relative clauses, etc.) They can also learn several expressions with the different formality (from casual to formal level) to use them properly. Additionally I put advanced topics in some lessons so that learners can challenge advanced-learner’s level grammar as well.
Each lesson is related to the former lesson, which enables learners to review and learn more. I frequently compare Japanese grammar to English grammar to avoid confusion. At the end of the course, students will be able to hold intermediate level conversations in Japanese.
