In this course we use the book Marugoto A1. We have been working with this for a number of years now and it is a pleasant coursebook with a lot of online material, colour photographs, film clips, and so on. In this first course we learn the hiragana characters. The katakana characters will be dealt with in the next course. You learn how to introduce yourself in Japanese, how to tell something about yourself and your family, how to count in Japanese, the names of dishes and beverages, and so on. |

In this course we start at chapter 16 of the book Marugoto A1. The pace in this group is quite high. Marugoto is a pleasant coursebook with a lot of online material, colour photographs, film clips, and so on. In this course you are supposed to be familiar with both the hiragana and the katakana characters. Kanji characters are introduced on a small scale in these lessons, woven into the lesson material. During this course a lot of attention will be paid to speaking (in the form of Can-Do exercises) and to listening to Japanese.
Pronouncing Japanese the right way is not the most difficult part of the language but we shall focus on listening to get the emphasis and intonation right and to get used to the speed of the spoken language. All MP3s have been recorded by native speakers. |

During this course we focus on the internationally recognized JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) exam.
This test consists of five levels and in this course we shall start with N4. This course is intended for people planning to take the N4 exam in July (2021). The lesson material is all-in Japanese writing. We also work on the kanji required for this level. The exam can be taken once every year in Holland at Leiden University. The exam fee is not included in our tuition fee. The other levels of this test are N5, N3, N2 and N1, the last being the equivalent of a near-native level. At the moment we offer group courses for levels N5 and N4; for the N3, N2 and N1 levels we can only offer private courses now. |

In this course we continue where we left off in Japanese 4A. In this group we set aside ample time for repetition and exercises. We still use the Marugoto book, from chapter 15 onwards. In this book the focus is on listening and speaking, extending vocabulary and the use of Japanese in practical situations. The coursebook was developed by the Japan Foundation and is supported by digital material, with online tools and audio files.
All texts are available in both hiragana and katakana and romaji. Marugoto also introduces kanji in these texts in a playful way. It is a complete and challenging course! And it focuses on cultural aspects too. |

Do you intend to travel to Japan at short notice? If so, this course is the one for you. In six lessons our teacher will not only teach you some basic Japanese so that you can order something in a restaurant, buy something in a shop, or ask the way, but she will also give you tips to enable you to get the most out of your trip. She will tell you about beautiful, relatively unknown places and will explain things about the public transport system in Japan, the accommodation possibilities (such as the homely minshuku (B&Bs), beautifully located onsen (hot springs), and hotels and ryokan (Japanese-style hotels). And, of course, about delicious Japanese cuisine.
This course is offered a number of times per year. |

During this course we shall learn to speak more and more Japanese. We use Marugoto A2, chapter 5. In the Marugoto coursebook the emphasis is on vocabulary and the use of Japanese in practical situations, but kanji relevant to every topic covered will also appear. During the lessons we also make frequent use of online material such as film clips and digital grammar exercises. As far as its level is concerned, this one almost equals level 7B but works at a more leisurely pace. | |

In this course we work with Marugoto A2-2. This is the third book in the Marugoto series. Participants are supposed to be familiar with hiragana and katakana and we shall now focus on acquiring kanji. The grammatical structures used will be of a more complicated nature. This is no longer beginners stuff! We can make ourselves understood in Japanese more and more easily and a lot of use if made of online supporting material. |

This group is certainly no longer a beginners group. We already know about 200 kanjis and some advanced grammar. In this course the polite form of Japanese (keigo) is studied. This will help you in both formal and informal situations. We have already worked our way through Genki 1 and 2 and will start on chapter 3 in Japanese for Busy People III. The teacher will also provide you with a lot of extra reading and exercise material. | |

During this course you will proceed with what you started on in previous courses. We shall work with Japanese for Busy People III, from chapter 14. You will be able to conduct conversations in Japanese ever more comfortably and be able to listen to Japanese people talking together as you are now also mastering the humble and honorific terms of the Japanese language. Increasingly, more attention is being given to conversational Japanese. The lessons will be supported with DVD and audio material to get you acquainted with Japanese as used in everyday situations. Kanji will also feature in this course, with accompanying reading exercises. |
