Do you have a solid foundation of essential Japanese? Have you completed your JLPT N4 test and are studying for JLPT N3? Let’s help you level up your pre-intermediate Japanese skills!

We are now accepting students for a 10-week workshop on intermediate conversations. Under the steady guidance of Ikunaga sensei, 6 students will have the opportunity to flex their Japanese capabilities over Zoom for 2 hours at a time. In this intimate group setting, Ikunaga-sensei will be able to gauge the needs of each student and adjust the subject matter to these needs. This is a great way to grow comfortable using Japanese in unscripted and genuine conversations and help take your Japanese speaking to the next level!

Examples of topics that will be covered.

Conversational Grammar
Essential JLPT Kanji
Onomatopoeia
And More!

*This workshop is meant for those who already have a foundation in Japanese, preferably having completed the JSNC’s Pre-Intermediate 3-4 OR passed JLPT level N3 or N4.

*Workshops with low enrollment may be canceled.

Date: Starting on May 19 at 18:00-20:00 (Pacific Time), Monday, 10 sessions!

Fee: $300 (Membership is required for this booking. Join and support the Japan Society! Membership can also be applied to sign up for group lessons and workshop in the future!)

Class format: Zoom. We want to see your happy faces, so we will ask all students to turn their videos on.
