This course is the continuation of the MARUGOTO Japanese for Beginners (Starter A1 Module 1) January – April 2021 Online Course.

Limited slots are available for Filipinos who are at least 17 years old and reside in the Philippines. Applicants should be beginner learners who have some knowledge in Nihongo, Hiragana & Katakana.

While doing the self study lessons, students will be able to practice Japanese with their teacher and classmates through online sessions. There are 2 segments in this course, Katsudoo (activity) and Rikai (competence).

  • In the Katsudoo segment, communicative language activities are provided and used within the context of Japanese settings, such as how to get to a destination, talking about your hobbies, etc. Students will be able to speak simple Japanese right away. 
  • Language structure, such as Japanese script, vocabulary, grammar, etc. will be learned in the Rikai segment for those who want to learn about the Japanese Language systematically through various communicative activities.

These segments will be taken consecutively. Certificates will be issued separately.

Study Mode:
A) Group Online Sessions (via Zoom): 1 hour / lesson, twice a week  (Mondays & Thursdays, 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.)

  2. Ask and answer questions about personal details such as one’s hobby and schedule.
  3. Express one’s feelings and preferences.
  4. Interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
