Join us and let's study and practice Japanese together in conversation, led by Hiromi Lathrop. Hiromi is a qualified Japanese language instructor with over 11 years teaching experience. These classes are in-person, in downtown Salem on Wednesdays from January 21 to March 11, 8 weeks, 75-minute classes, 10 hours contact time. March 19 is a just-in-case teacher-sickness make-up week. Great if you've planned a vacation to Japan. But also, just great anyway :-).

Class TV1 is for absolute beginners - You may have done a little Duolingo or looked online, or even bought a book. But you've never studied in a formal, consistent manner before. You aren't able to express basic structures. 

We will study Chapters 1 & 2 of Genki 1 textbook and workbook. Wednesdays 5:30 - 6:45pm.

Class TV2 is for improving beginners especially those who have studied TV1 with us. If you are new with us, you should have an understanding of this/that/over there and other basics of Chapters 1 & 2, including solid recognition and reproduction of hiragana and katakana. If you do NOT have all these skills, opt for TV1.

We will study Chapters 3 & 4 of the Genki 1 - 3rd edition textbook and workbook. Wednesdays 7-8:15pm.

Note: additional costs - JASO Membership (from $33/yr) https://jaso.org/individual-membership, Genki 1 3rd edition textbook and workbook (around $65). You must purchase membership AND textbook AND workbook in advance of first class.

Refund Policy

Course will run with minimum 4 students signing up. If course does not run, 100% of fees refunded. Cancellation after January 15, no refund if your cancellation causes numbers to drop below 4 in total. 50% refund otherwise. Refund processed after classes start. We will communicate with you as sign-up windows close regarding number of sign-ups.

Call 503-552-8813 if you are NOT 18+ and want to register. We understand business people sometimes have work commitments that cause them to miss class. Many students end up missing 1 or 2 classes because of work commitments. We price these classes affordably to take this into consideration. We do not give refunds because “work became busy”.
