Mini-Course: Introduction to Japanese Grammar (Skillshare)

This mini-course is a quick, casual introduction to basic Japanese grammar. In each lesson, I teach a different grammar point and use examples to explain their use. This course is best for absolute beginners, but anyone can watch and share their feedback under the community tab. Stay tuned for more fun content like this~ Thank you for watching!

Oh, disclaimer, you will need to be able to read Hiragana and Katakana to get the most out of my lessons. My Introduction to Japanese 1 & 2 courses are a great way to learn how to study the kana characters.
The final project is to answer the questions at the bottom of the Introduction to Japanese Grammar worksheet. Answers will be posted in the community tab.
