Description

While I normally make sure younger students have everything available to help them learn, as adults, you know how much support you need when picking up something new. You get to choose what works best for you.

We’ll learn how to make basic sentences so we can introduce ourselves.

You must be able to recognize 75 – 85% of the kana characters—the worksheets are in Japanese—but we will be doing a review of the characters and other ways to make extra sounds in Japanese so if you’re just a little rusty, come join us!

If you already know how to do these things, then tell me and I’ll see about setting up another time for students who are further along.

This class is for adults. You must be 18 or older.
