In this course, students will learn to understand, write, read, and speak Japanese through practice, self-assessment, animated dialogues, and graded video activities. They will also build their social awareness to act and communicate appropriately with people from other cultures. Students will learn Japanese that is used in everyday situations, such as talking about schedules, making purchases, and describing past events. This is the second course in a four-part Japanese series, which aligns to ACTFL standards.
