Courses and Requirements
About the Courses
Our technical Japanese language courses stress the technical vocabulary not found in courses that emphasize literature or conversation. You will learn to read (with the aid of a dictionary) Japanese technical documents and specifications, product manuals, brochures, patents and memos. Strategies for reading and analyzing the flow of ideas are reinforced through regular assignments and daily feedback from your instructor.
