- \u30b5\u30ae\u30ca\u3055\u3093 tells us about the CLS application experiences: “CLS is the Critical Language Scholarship program<\/a> and it is open for basically anyone to apply as long as they are a college student or they plan on doing the program the summer right after they graduate. There are two programs open; the intermediate (2 years of study) and advanced classes (3 years of study). The location varies year by year, but for Summer 2016 the session will be taking place in Hikone<\/a>, Japan. The biggest perk obviously is that it is all completely paid for! The program is funded by the Dept of State and the expenses cover travel, visa fees, transportation to get to DC for the orientation and a monthly stipend (not sure how much and it’s for food I believe). You stay with a homestay family and it is an intensive learning program. There is roughly 4-6 hours of schooling 5 times a week with about 3 hours of homework given, weekend cultural excursions and no English speaking is allowed. It is a program seeking diversity but more so they are looking for a commitment to continue learning the language. A pre- and post-interview is given to assess your starting and ending level. The application is kind of time consuming but that’s mostly due to the essays. The essays are short with roughly 300 words max but they ask a variety of questions from how you handle being in a new environment and interacting with new people, to what you can contribute to the class group. It is highly competitive and all areas of your application need to be strong, especially reference letters. It is good to get a letter from someone who will write an absolutely glowing review of you.\u00a0 Obviously I have yet to complete the program but I am really excited about it. It is a great opportunity, especially since I can study abroad without having to front the cost. I really do believe my speaking skills are going to improve. It is a great program and I really encourage everyone and anyone to apply and apply again. Like I said, they accept you even the summer after you graduate. And if you do get accepted, you’re even eligible to apply the next year to complete the next level. I look forward to writing a post review, but applying is free so you really have nothing to lose and if selected, a whole bunch to gain! A great video to watch is: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gYUY8m2L-3I&feature=youtu.be<\/a>\u00a0I hope this helps!”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Studying Japanese:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
The Japanese program offers a strong foundation in the Japanese language and a thorough knowledge of Japanese culture. The primary objective of the Japanese language program at AU is to provide students with command of the language suitable to both academic and culturally authentic settings. Students will develop a capacity to express themselves in a culturally coherent manner and to understand the Japanese language as it is utilized in actual communication. Studying Japanese and learning about Japan and Asia is of increasing importance in the 21st<\/sup> century. A minor in Japanese\u00a0at American University becomes an official part of your\u00a0university transcript and complements your major field.<\/p>\n
Starting with elementary level courses, students are exposed to all four necessary skills for learning the Japanese language: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Through the intermediate and advanced levels these skills are refined for fluency and accuracy, with the advanced level focusing on the development of communicative skills through reading and discussion.<\/p>\n
Requirements:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
- \n
- 24 credit hours <\/b>of Japanese with grades of C or better<\/b><\/li>\n
- 6 of the 24 credit hours must<\/strong> be at the 300 level or above<\/li>\n
- At least 12 credit hours must<\/strong> be unique<\/strong> to the minor<\/li>\n
- Transfer and study abroad credits are acceptable, although 9 of the credits must<\/strong> be earned at AU<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Typical Program:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
A typical program for students without previous training in Japanese would be:<\/p>\n
- \n
- JAPN-114 & JAPN-115: Elementary Japanese I & II\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (10 credits)<\/li>\n
- JAPN-214 & JAPN-215: Intermediate Japanese I & II\u00a0 \u00a0 (10 credits)<\/li>\n
- JAPN-314 & JAPN-315: Advanced Japanese I & II\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (6 credits)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
TOTAL:\u00a0\u00a0 26 credits<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
Acceptable replacements for coursework will be approved by the Program Advisor on a <\/i>case-by-case basis.<\/i><\/p>\n
Students in the minor have previously studied abroad at Waseda University in Tokyo and Ritsumeikan University in Kyoto, among other universities.\u00a0 Several AU students have won scholarships given by the Japanese government and by the Japan America Society of Washington DC.<\/p>\n

Ritsumeikan University<\/p>\n
Cooking in Japan \u65e5\u672c\u306e\u6599\u7406\u3053\u3068<\/p>\n
\u91ce\u83dc\u3068\u679c\u7269\uff5cProduce<\/p>\n
Japanese grocery stores have different levels of produce freshness, just like stores in the US. In my ward, we have a higher-end Matsumoto and a lower-end Gyomu. Japanese people put a lot of value on the freshness of their produce. At Matsumoto, the produce is brought in fresh every day, and they try to sell as much as they can by the end of the day. If you go about an hour before closing, you can buy a lot of nice produce at discounted prices.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re on a tight budget, you\u2019ll shop at a place like Gyomu. Their produce is noticeably less fresh, but heavily discounted compared to what\u2019s sold at Matsumoto. Lower-end stores also tend to have more frozen foods. For most of the college students in the area, Gyomu is the best option.<\/p>\n
At both stores, the prices of produce change per day. For example, if the batch of cucumbers they receive are smaller than usual, the price will be lower, or they\u2019ll put more in a bundle. Even at Gyomu, the vegetable quality is still better than some stores in the US. Most of the food seems to be grown fairly locally and always has a nice taste.<\/p>\n
\u53f0\u6240\u7528\u54c1\uff5cCooking Equipment<\/p>\n
In Japan, there is a distinct lack of traditional ovens. There are a few reasons for this but, primarily, I think it is because Japanese cooking traditionally is never done in an oven. For baking, people here often use the oven setting on their microwave, or a toaster oven. This won\u2019t work if you\u2019re thinking of cooking a turkey while in Japan but, does work well for small baked goods like cakes, bread, and sweets.<\/p>\n
The \u708a\u98ef\u5668\uff08\u3059\u3044\u306f\u3093\u304d\uff09or, rice cooker, is the backbone of cooking in Japan. They come in various sizes, including 1-serving rice cooker, and aren\u2019t too expensive. You\u2019ll never want to cook rice on the stove again!<\/p>\n
\u51b7\u8535\u5eab\u3067\uff1fHow to Store Your Food<\/p>\n
In the grocery store, you\u2019ll notice that many things which are refrigerated in the US aren\u2019t refrigerated in Japan. This is due mostly to the way produce are handled, and different cleaning processes in different countries. Here<\/a> is a list of fruits and vegetables that do and do not need to be refrigerated. In Japan, eggs are not, and do not need to be refrigerated. While people aren\u2019t particularly bothered to see carrots out of the fridge, seeing bread and eggs stored in the same place tends to set of warnings for lots of Americans.<\/p>\n
\u5375\uff1aIn the most basic terms, the way eggs are cleaned in the United States breaks down the protective layer provided by the shell, making it porous \u2013 this means bacteria can penetrate the shell \u2013 so the eggs have to be refrigerated. The US relies heavily on large scale farms that are harder to keep clean; this is why our eggs undergo a chemical treatment. In Japan (and many European countries) the eggs do not need to undergo this treatment, so it is safe to keep them unrefrigerated. If you\u2019re interested, here<\/a> is a more detailed explanation. IMPORTANT: Once you refrigerate an egg, you must keep doing so. Once it\u2019s chilled, if you take it out of the fridge, the egg \u201csweats\u201d, creating an opening for bacteria. Whichever method you choose, just be consistent.<\/p>\n
Cooking in Japan is both incredibly frustrating and wonderful. As you learn more about the produce that\u2019s offered and the Japanese style of cooking, you can have a lot of fun and make some tasty dishes.<\/p>\n

There are so many resources online today for studying Japanese on your own. It is important to expose yourself to your target language (Japanese) as often and in as many different ways as possible. Here are a few websites that might make that more fun and meaningful.<\/p>\n
Kanji study<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
We highly recommend using Dr. Williams’ book to increase your kanji knowledge. It includes very detailed explanations of the radicals used to construct kanji.<\/p>\n
The key to Kanji: A Visual History of 1100 Characters <\/em>by Noriko Williams. (Cheng & Tsui, 2010)<\/em> ISBN: 978-0-88727-736-8 (Amazon link<\/strong><\/a>)<\/p>\n
Dr. Williams, who has devoted herself to the Japanese Program at AU, developed an iTunes collection to accompany her extremely well-constructed book. You can download the iTunes U application from Apple\u2019s site. The video clip collection is called: Bushu: The Kanji Makers \u2013 From Meanings to Shapes<\/em><\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/itunes-u\/bushu-the-kanji-makers-bushu\/id438294617<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
Dr. Williams has more recently developed the incredible Visual Kanji<\/strong>\u00a0(http:\/\/www.visualkanji.com\/<\/a>) website, a free video tutorial course on these 1100 kanji and a huge variety of words that use them.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
She also maintains a fascinating blog called Kanji Portraits<\/strong>: https:\/\/kanjiportraits.wordpress.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n
Once a week she writes about small groups of kanji that share the same origin and component\u00a0shapes in current kanji.\u00a0 Her discussions trace back origins of each kanji, using ancient writing that\u00a0she recreated from photos of ancient inscriptions.<\/p>\n
Websites for kids<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
Materials made for Japanese-speaking kids to learn about the world will give you the benefits of 1) a slightly simplified (yet still native) writing style that is easier to comprehend and will therefore allow you to read more in a shorter period of time and 2) a Japanese perspective in describing things that you have already learned about from a slightly different (non-Japanese) perspective. Here are four websites for kids. Click on the \u5b66\u3076 or \u5b66\u307c\u3046 buttons to find general learning materials written in Japanese.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/kids.nifty.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n
https:\/\/kids.gakken.co.jp\/<\/a><\/p>\n
Video news<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n
One of the strongest Japanese learning activities is making use of video news. Most videos include the entire script below. I would recommend you<\/p>\n
1) watch the video without trying to read the script
\n2) try to read the script without replaying the video
\n3) listen to the video while you read the script<\/p>\nYou may find that some words or phrases are left out of the script or slightly altered.\u00a0Here is a great place to find video news:\u00a0http:\/\/headlines.yahoo.co.jp\/videonews\/<\/a><\/p>\n
NHK (the public broadcasting system of Japan) also has a wonderful News site in easier-to-understand Japanese: https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/news\/easy\/<\/a><\/p>\n
