Have you been thinking about learning a new language but haven’t been able to find the time?

The Japan Foundation, Toronto is happy to offer a series of Japanese language and culture talks where we will introduce words and expressions to get you started on the path to learning Japanese! All levels of Japanese learners are welcome to join too!

We will hold 2 sessions providing the same content: in-person at the Japan Foundation, Toronto during the lunch hour (12:00-1:00 pm ET) and online in the evening (6:30-7:30 pm ET). If you are near the Yonge/Bloor area in Toronto, why not stop by during your lunch break and learn more about Japanese language and interesting cultural information? Or join us on Zoom in the evening if that better suits your schedule/location. These sessions are B.Y.O.B. (“bring your own bento“), so please feel free to bring your lunch/dinner with you!

In this session, we will cover the topic of “Japanese Anime and Manga“. Come join us and learn Japanese words, onomatope and phrases related to anime and manga, along with interesting facts about this theme!

The sessions are free to join but registration is required. Please let us know if you will be joining us using the button below.
