Japanese Language Learning Outcomes
Embarking on the journey of learning Japanese is a rewarding endeavor that opens doors to a unique culture, history, and professional opportunity. Our curriculum is structured into four distinct levels, designed to guide students from foundational literacy to advanced communicative fluency.

- Engage in daily greetings and simple classroom interactions.
- Identify approximately 50 essential Kanji characters.
Level 2: Intermediate Proficiency
Building on foundational skills, this level expands vocabulary and introduces more complex sentence structures. Students will focus on:
- Describing past events and narrating sequences of actions using the te-form and past tense conjugations.
