This course (section 5) is aimed at English speakers who would like to learn advanced level Japanese conversation. If students have completed "Japanese conversation for English speakers (section 4)" or they have any prior relevant knowledge of Japanese, it would be perfect to improve their knowledge.
Students will be able to continuously learn a variety of expressions (e.g. judgment expressions, double negative expressions, partial negative expressions, etc.) They can also learn several expressions with the different formality and super polite level expressions (with honorific and humble forms) to use them properly. Additionally I put advanced topics as extra lessons so that learners can make their expressions more dynamic and lively.
Each lesson is related to the former lesson, which enables learners to review and learn more. I frequently compare Japanese grammar to English grammar to avoid confusion. At the end of the course, students will be able to hold advanced level conversations in Japanese.
