The exercises will focus on various skills: for example, conversation, orthography, listening & reading comprehension.
In the conversational exercises, the students will participate in role play activities in order to improve their communicative skills in realistic everyday life situations.
Furthermore, the students will learn how to use the computer in Japanese (in the end of the course, they will be able to write Japanese compositions with the computer).
