This is the second course of Introductory Japanese. This course will further introduce students to the fundamentals of modern Japanese, aiming to help students foster the four language skills including speaking, listening, reading and writing, as well as Japanese culture awareness. This course, closely following the textbook (covering chapters 7 to 12) and focused on the frequently- used communicative situations, will familiarize students with the Japanese sound and language structure by mastering its three writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji.
