This class is for true beginners or beginners who would like to review very basic Japanese, such as sounds and the use of function words (は、が、を、の、に, etc.), through speaking practice. The goal of the class is for students to be able to express themselves effectively through ample practice.

During Zoom sessions, we use materials such as charts for pronunciation, HIRAGANA & KATAKANA, and vocabulary words and colored rods to help us practice.

If you're interested, we offer a free trial lesson. Please reserve a date and time slot via email. The free trial lesson will take place in May 2024, and reservation is required.

Here is a message from the instructor, Michiko Watabe.
