See Addenda to the 2022/2023 Catalog  for changes to this course effective Spring 2023

This course is an introduction to Japanese language and culture. This course is the first in the three-semester sequence of Japanese language courses designed to develop basic spoken and written communication skills in modern Japanese. In this course, students will begin to develop the ability to use Japanese in a culturally coherent manner and learn how to interact comfortably with native speakers of Japanese through speaking and writing. Students who wish to continue working towards proficiency should plan to take the next courses (LAJA 102 and 151) in the sequence. Offered fall and spring semesters. (CGCL; CHUM)
