This is an advanced beginner level Japanese course for students who took Japanese II in previous semesters at Princeton Adult School. The class now focuses on basis for more complex grammar while working on basics we have learned so far. We will continue practicing practical oral conversation but will tackle with moderately complex reading and writing. We will continue working on kanji characters as well. This semester’s major grammatical topics will be plain forms and comparative/superlative among others.
