Course objectives
The course follows the courses of previous semmesters, especially the courses of reading and practical excercises of writing. The main goal is to apply a complex knowledge of Japanese grammar, phraseology and vocabulary in reading and interpreting Japanese texts. Students also further develop their abilities of natural translation from Japanese to Czech/Slovak without the use of dictionaries. The texts are chosen with focus on diversity. In comparision with the previous courses, the portion of real Japanese texts is bigger (texts constructed primarily for purpose of teaching Japanese are suppressed). At the end of the course the students are able to work with common texts in modern Japanese language.
