Course Description:
This course is a bridge course from intermediate to advanced Japanese language. It continues development of proficiency in interpersonal, interpretive and presentational modes of communication in speaking, listening, reading and writing. Students develop communication strategies and cultural knowledge to prepare for advanced courses. Taught in Japanese.
This is the first intermediate level course offered at CSUMB. In this course we study new grammar structure and kanji. There were several presentations during the semester which consisted of memorization. Unlike the classes before, it was nice to focus on oral presentations because this is the only way to speak a language more fluently. Some of these presentations were difficult to memorize but in the end I did well. I have severe case of stage fright, but doing these presentations made me become more comfortable speaking in front of others. Studying abroad and taking this class did helped become more fluent speaking Japanese. My pronunciation is not the best but my professor gave different tips, such speaking slowly so the pronunciation is more accurate, fulling . We would have a weekly presentation the focused on the different grammar points we were studying at the time. It also introduced me the concept of Keigo. Keigo is honorific dialogue that is used when conversing with someone of a higher ranking or status. Kanji is my worst subject but with extra determination I was able to learn a number of kanji.
