Learn basic knowledge about Okinawan languages (Ryukyu languages), and learn the structure of words so that you can actually use Uchinaguchi. This course will mainly deal with the basics of the language spoken in the south-central region (Okinawan). While reviewing the Uchinaguchi course (super beginner), I will proceed with the course, including work to memorize words and phrases so that I can have simple conversations. It's a beginner's level, so it's aimed at people who aren't good at speaking at all, but want to learn.
