Entry level
This course requires some basic knowledge of Japanese: you should be able to talk about yourself and the things that you enjoy. You should be able to use the verb forms desu (to be) and masu (which is a polite verb suffix) in the present, past and negative tense and be able to use demonstrative pronouns.
If you completed the preceding Japanese halfway to A1 course for absolute beginners, you will automatically be able to progress to this course. If you are unsure whether this course suits your level, you can make an appointment for an intake by phone. You can also enrol in a Japanese language course without an intake.
After completing this Japanese language course, you will be able to:
- understand simple words, expressions and sentences;
- ask and answer simple, short questions;
- follow a simple conversation;
- write simple, short sentences about personal matters;
The course focuses primarily on verbal communication, as well as reading, listening and writing skills. You will also learn more about Japanese culture.
To receive a Radboud in’to Languages certificate, you need to attend 80% of the classes.
After completing this course, you will have reached language level A1. After this course, you can proceed with Japanese halfway to A2.
