Welcome to the Japanese program!

We encourage all students from various majors who are interested in Japanese language and culture to take our classes. You will learn basic Japanese and build a good foundation to continue learning in the future. As you are learning new things every day, attendance and submitting assignments are fundamental to your enjoyment and ability to improve your language skills. Let's study Japanese together.

We use Genki 1 as our textbook.

Here are links to Hiragana and Katakana, Japanese writing systems which you will learn in JAPN101.
