Course Description

　ASIANLAN123 is the first half of the accelerated first-year Japanese course taught through various types of media, mainly anime and manga. It is designed for students who have some previous knowledge of Japanese, but less than the equivalent of one year’s study of Japanese at the University of Michigan. Students will need to obtain a qualifying score on the placement exam to be placed into this course. However, students do not need any specific knowledge of anime and manga. Upon successful completion of ASIANLAN123, students will take ASIANLAN124 (First-Year Japanese through Anime and Manga II) in the following semester.
