I loved taking First-Year Japanese with Professor White and Professor Takahashi. The drills were done by Prof Takahashi who was so engaging and enthusiastic. There is a lot of homework though, and you have to be prepared to dedicate at least an hour every single day to studying/doing homework for Japanese. Overall, a great course and we learn so much at such a fast (but reasonable) pace.

Professor Abe was amazing and her lectures were very valuable. Definitely stay engaged during classes and reach out for help when you need it. Professor Abe was very welcoming and understanding. The Japanese department has the nicest people on our campus.

Professor White is a great teacher- very kind and understanding about struggles with deadlines and the content. The class itself is one of those typical humanities classes with a lot of reading and discussion board postings, but if you're interested in the content it shouldn't feel like a chore. If you aren't interested and just took it for the attributes, it'll feel a lot tougher, especially with the papers- lots of research for the final, but she gives you plenty of time and resources that make it easy if you use them.
