Course Description
This course aims to develop basic understanding of structural features of Japanese language. Students will be introduced to basic phonological, morphological, syntactic, and discourse analysis of Japanese.
Reflective Narrative
This course covered MLO 1 as an Upper Division Language and Communication course taught in Japanese. As the title suggests, this course taught us more advanced grammar, and ways to use a more affluent form of Japanese.
During this course I reviewed many different grammar points, their similarities and differences, and how to use them correctly and effectively. Our final presentation for this course was a self introduction, something most students learning Japanese are taught fairly early on, however at this level of language proficiency we needed to do more than just the basics. It had to come from the heart in order to be effective in getting others to remember you. I was also very happy to study pitch accents and how they are used in Japanese. I had learned in the early days of studying Japanese that pitch can change the meaning of the word, like candy and rain both being ame, but I never had a good grasp as to what that meant until now. In the end I am in awe of the amount of material we covered in such the short time.
