This is a beginner level Japanese course for students who took Japanese I in previous semesters at Princeton Adult School (or studied equivalent level Japanese elsewhere). Students will learn more basic vocabulary, grammar, and sentence structures as well as simple, practical Japanese writing. We will continue focusing on practical oral conversations but more comprehensive grammar will be incorporated in class activities. We will continue working on kanji characters.
