This 1-hour Japanese Introduction class is designed for complete beginners who want a clear and structured start to learning Japanese. The session begins with an overview of the Japanese language, including its three writing systems—Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji—and how they are used in daily communication. Students will learn basic Japanese greetings and polite expressions, with a strong focus on correct pronunciation and cultural context.
The class then introduces simple sentence structure, enabling students to confidently perform a basic self-introduction in Japanese using commonly used patterns. Emphasis is placed on speaking practice so learners actively use the language during the session. Cultural elements such as politeness levels and common communication etiquette in Japan are also explained to help students understand how the language is used naturally.
The session concludes with a brief overview of the JLPT N5 learning roadmap, recommended study materials (Genki Book 1), and effective memory techniques using Anki flashcards. By the end of the class, students gain clarity, confidence, and a strong foundation to continue learning Japanese systematically.
