* no significant other commitments in the first week of October [the ECTS come out to almost 11 h/day of self-study time, but see below]
* advance registration
* textbook, see “reading list”
* being able to write hiragana and katakana beforehand is not required, but strongly recommended [it cuts down on the time requirement significantly and does give you a head start; see “reading list”]At the end of this course students should
* know some basic information about the Japanese language and writing system;
* be able to read and write hiragana and katakana with some fluency;
* have some familiarity with studying kanji (and have some 30-50 under their belt already);
* be able to input Japanese on a computer or smart device;
* know a few basic Japanese words, phrases and short dialogues.The lectures will be provided in fixed form on the e-learning platform alongside further reading and/or study material to aid in self-study, especially of hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Students will have the opportunity to ask questions on the forum, chat, and/or in person (if possible).
