Join us and let's study and practice Japanese together in conversation, led by Hiromi Lathrop in downtown Salem. Hiromi is a qualified Japanese language instructor with over 12 years teaching experience. These classes are in-person, downtown in Salem on Wednesdays 5:30-6:45pm, from September 30 to December 2, 8 weeks, 75-minute classes, 10 hours contact time. No class Thanksgiving 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.
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 September 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 may accept parents with high school children AFTER review phone call. We are unable to provide facilities for partners of those who sit and study to wait for them, or others with a particular special need, sorry. We understand people sometimes have life commitments that cause them to miss class. Many students end up missing 1 or 2 classes because of this. We price these classes affordably to take this into consideration. We do not give refunds because “life became busy”.
