Conversation Practice
Course Description
This 4-week conversation class is designed for learners who already have a basic foundation in Japanese and are ready for more opportunities to actively use the language. In a supportive, low-pressure environment, students will develop confidence through regular speaking practice.
Each week, students will explore a new topic with key structures, expressions, and vocabulary, followed by small-group conversation practice. The instructor will guide the session and provide support as needed to keep students engaged and progressing.
Occasionally, Japanese-speaking volunteers may join the class to offer additional real-world conversation opportunities.
This class is ideal for learners who want to move beyond studying and start using Japanese more naturally in conversation, with a focus on meaningful communication.
