Japanese conversation for English speakers 2

Japanese conversation for English speakers 2

This course (section 2) is aimed at English speakers who would like to learn basic - intermediate level Japanese conversation. If students have completed "Japanese conversation for English speakers (section 1)" or they have any prior basic knowledge of Japanese, it would be perfect to improve their knowledge. Students will be able to learn 4 basic forms of verbs (Dictionary-form / Masu-form / Te-form / Nai-form ) and how to make each of them. Then, they can learn a variety of expressions with various verbs and adverbs. Each lesson is related to the former lesson, which enables learners to review and learn more. I frequently compare Japanese grammar to English grammar to avoid confusion. At the end of the course, students will be able to hold basic - intermediate level conversations in Japanese.
