Japanese

JPN 100, 200, CIHS (Cascadia) 350 & CIHS 450

Teacher: Emiko Kamitsuna

Japanese language is ....

Japanese is one of the hardest language to learn for English speakers. The writing system (three systems) is completely different from the alphabet based languages, sounds are different, it takes a long time to be fluent. It is only spoken in a small country of Japan, etc.. With so many negative aspects of taking this language, why learn it then? Students who take Japanese are seeking more challenges, want to be different from others and many are fascinated by this unknown, unique language and culture. And we cannot forget, anime enthusiasts!

If you have any questions or concerns, just email me. I will be happy to answer - ekamitsuna@nsd.org

Looking forward to meeting you next fall!
