Building on the basics, this course takes students deeper into Japanese grammar and sentence structure while developing real conversational fluency. Through dialogue, role-play, and cultural context, learners will move beyond textbook phrases to express ideas and navigate everyday situations with confidence. By the end, students will hold conversations more naturally and connect with Japanese culture on a more meaningful level. Explore two important milestones in Japanese culture: Shichi-Go-San, the traditional celebration of children\'s growth, and Seijin-shiki, Japan\'s Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Students will also learn about the differences between Shinto shrines (神社) and Buddhist temples (お寺) while discussing Japanese customs and family traditions.
