BA Japanese

Japanese language is one of the popular languages in the world. Many people are fascinated by Japanese people, culture and innovations. Here are some features of Japanese language that makes Japanese language different from other languages in the world:

·       Orthography: Japanese language is written in a combination of three scripts unlike other major world languages that are based on a single script.

·       Accent and pronunciation: Compared to other languages the sounds in Japanese language are uncomplicated and simple. In Japanese words, the emphasis is on one syllable that is pronounced prominently compared to other syllables.

·       Verbs: Most languages have verbs based on tenses. Japanese language has additional verbs based on varying degrees of politeness.

·       Courteousness: There are different words and verbs in Japanese language that can be used for expressing respect in various degree.

·       Particles: There are 188 Japanese particles which are short words that hold the potential to change the meaning of the sentence.

Yes, Japanese can be difficult to learn especially for those who have a habit of using their native languages most of the time, and also for those whose language is not related. Its writing system includes three scripts (Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji), and the grammar structure is quite different from languages like English.

Learning Kana (Hiragana and Katakana) is an excellent first step and can be very rewarding when simple Japanese phrases and writing especially in pop culture suddenly become readable. But I know how this will pan out. Finding a Hiragana/Katakana chart on Google and then trying to memorize the characters purely from rote and practice-and it will be frustrating, and neither effective nor enjoyable.

In my early days of Japanese language mania back in middle and high school, I attempted to learn kana from these charts on at least 4 different occasions over 4-to 5 years; but despite Samurai-style pain and perseverance, I never succeeded beyond being able to write them on demand-I could never recognize them quickly enough for practical use. I only became a fairly effective Japanese speaker and writer after 2-3 years of incredibly intensive college-level study and a short stint in Japan.

Courses for Beginners: These are meant for people who know very little or nothing about Japanese at all. Usually, they go over fundamental grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and phrases that are necessary for daily conversation.
Intermediate Courses: Building on foundational language knowledge, intermediate courses seek to increase vocabulary, sharpen grammar, and improve students' speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. They frequently concentrate on bigger subjects and more intricate speech patterns.
Advanced Courses: Learners having a strong foundation in the language are suited for advanced Japanese courses. Their objectives are to enhance language proficiency, broaden cultural awareness, and get students ready for advanced-level examinations or specialised fields like business Japanese.

Conversational classes: The goal of conversational Japanese classes is to build fluency and confidence in speaking with native speakers while emphasising spoken communication skills. Frequently, these classes incorporate role-plays, group discussions, and simulated real-world situations.

For learners of the Japanese language, every year, the Japanese language proficiency test (JLPT) is conducted twice a year in July and December. The levels range from n5-n1. N5 being the most basic, and n1 being the most advanced. To gain proficiency in the Japanese language, you can learn Japanese from these places in Delhi. The Japan Foundation: affiliated with the Japanese embassy in India, the Japan Foundation is a library and a centre where you can start learning Japanese. You can get books, manga, CDs as well. It is located near the Moolchand metro station. A 2-minute walk from there. Delhi University (part-time): if you are looking for a certificate or diploma degree, then you can learn it as a part-time course from Delhi University. Forms for this would be out when Du announces the cut-off. You need to have cleared your 12th class. Delhi University (full-time): that is if you have already graduated, you can enrol in a full-time course at DU. Department of east Asian studies. It's a two-year course. An intensive PG Diploma will be equivalent to graduation and you can do a Masters afterwards. Jawaharlal Nehru University: if you want to do your graduation, JNU is also considered one of the best places to learn the Japanese language. However, entrance exams are most probably over for this year. Coaching institutes: institutes like Mosai, Nihongo Centre, Nihonkai, and Aots are where you can learn the language. Personally, though, it's good to learn from a university (be it DU or JNU) but coaching institutes also do have some merit. Coaching institutes are more JLPT focused whereas DU/JNU are more into academics. You can see your priorities and enrol in any of the above. Hope, it helped. All the best.
