On the completion of the course, the participants of the course will be able to:
Basic Course
- Use basic expressions such as greetings and simple self-introduction
- Write their name in Japanese
- Recognise some aspects of Japanese people and culture such as manners and customs
Further Steps
- Expand your vocabulary
- Identify some Japanese words
- Become more familiar with Japanese culture and customs
In addition, both groups should understand more about pathways for further study and how learning the Japanese language could enhance your career opportunities.
An Information session took place on Wednesday 4th October which can be viewed here.

To be confirmed soon.
Additional Requirements:
Although the participants do not need to buy any textbooks, each participant is required to enrol the free online Japanese language courses “Marugoto Katsudo and Rikai A1-1 Self-study course” on eLearning Minato (https://minato-jf.jp/Home/Index).
We will use the online course as an alternative to a paper textbook.
