Japanese Class Syllabus
12 years ago
I've posted an official syllabus for the first six-module curriculum of Introductory Japanese I'm going to be teaching. Click here to see what the individual class sessions will hold!
I should have done this earlier, I realize, but if folks are interested, that's how the first level of Intro Japanese is going to go. And yes, I do have plans to offer a second level of intro Japanese to go beyond this one, and then also Intermediate Japanese beyond that if there's enough interest.
Also, details on the classes, scheduling, and pricing can be found here.

Most likely, though, I'd say this Level 1 is the right fit, since a lot of this fundamental grammar covers a fair bit.
Just make sure you go with a reputable, well-established institution, because there are some real horror stories that have come out of some of the less-regimented ones.
In the first lesson I touch on this, but the assumption is that learning these two systems is something the student should be doing on their own time. I offer some advice, but it's kind of hard to directly teach how I write when all I've got is a microphone. (Plus, doing that would take time away from actual grammar coverage.)
So, yes, the short version is that learning how to write Japanese is part of what's expected in this first course. It's just not called out in individual lessons because it's assumed to be an ongoing thing behind the scenes, and since it'd be kind of hard to cover in any one given session anyway.
