This is where most prospective Mt. Eden Japanese students begin their journey into Japanese language and culture studies.  In Japanese I, we explore self-introductions, greetings, classroom expressions, counting, discussing weather, birthdays, and our families and friends. Also, we learn the Japanese kana system: hiragana and katakana followed by a few hundred kanji characters.  

During the 2025-2026 school year, we will  use Google Classroom, and Remind, to communicate and upload assignments.   Sign in to Google Classroom using your HUSD gmail address and the class code for Japanese I.  Each period has their own class code.
