Japanese, Part 2: Building More Complex Sentences

In this course, Yuki Sasaki Caldwell—an experienced instructor of Japanese Language in the Department of Comparative Literature and Intercultural Studies at the University of Georgia (UGA)—teaches you how to go shopping in Japan. Learn the vocabulary that you need to shop at a variety of stores and restaurants, as well as numbers related to money and how to speak about animate and inanimate objects. Understand how to have these conversations using appropriately polite forms. Plus, find out why Japanese school children write their largest numbers like this: 1,0000,0000—with four digits to the right of the comma instead of three.
