Konnichiwa! Take your interest to the next level and learn Japanese.

You will learn to speak and listen through practical conversation you can use daily as well as fun cultural activities and exploration. We will master the complete set of Hiragana and Katakana through writing and reading material relevant to our conversation and cultural exploration. A few key Kanji will be incorporated with a goal of recognition as well as an entry to writing and reading for those who want to extend their studies. There may be separate classes or learning segments geared toward beginners or returning students as needed.

There will be homework and resources provided to continue to practice throughout the course.

Students should play to spend 30 to 60 minutes per week on practice or assignments.

There will be some group work outside of class time that will be coordinated and done through the class’s Discord server.
