The Intermediate class will help improve your ability to use Japanese accurately and appropriately with fluency, building on the basic skills you have learned. We will focus on reading comprehension, spoken fluency, and composition, with materials organized around social and cultural topics. In addition, each lesson introduces basic Kanji. The required textbook, Japanese for Busy People II with CD (revised 3rd edition), is available at the Brookline Booksmith. *If you are comfortable reading Hiragana and Katakana, the same textbook in a Kana version is recommended. No class the week of February 20 during school vacation.
