Course details
In this course, Yuki Sasaki Caldwell—an Instructor of Japanese Language in the Department of Comparative Literature and Intercultural Studies at the University of Georgia (UGA)—guides you through how to describe actions in Japanese and how to observe some customs related to the Japanese language and culture. Grasp the important vocabulary you’ll need to express “from” and “to,” as well as the appropriate sentence structure used to express a sequence of actions. Unlike English sentences, which have more flexibility, Japanese sentences always begin with whichever action happens first. Plus, learn about the Japanese ryokan, a traditional-style inn, and continue writing in kanji.
