JA 1 BEGINNING JAPANESE I

5 Units - 5 hours lecture
Transfers: CSU, UC
This course is designed to develop the fundamentals of communicating in Japanese, including listening comprehension, reading, and basic conversation. The emphasis is on the comprehension of native spoken and written Japanese. The course introduces reading and writing Japanese syllabic symbols and selected kanji characters. It also presents general aspects of Japanese daily life and culture. Throughout the course, the role of grammar is secondary to that of acquiring basic competency in reading, writing, and speaking Japanese and inferring its meaning. JA 1 is equivalent to two years of high school Japanese. Credit may be earned in either JA 1 or 1H, but not both. NR
