Japanese Tadoku Book Club にほんご多読会

Let’s enjoy reading in Japanese and talk about the book!

Saturday June 21 | 10:00 am – 11:30 am EDT | In Person @ The Japan Foundation, Toronto – Event Hall

What is “Tadoku”?

The word “ta” (多) means “a lot” and “doku” (読) means “to read”, so “tadoku” literally means “read-a-lot”. You can read books suitable to your reading level at your own pace. Start with easy books you can enjoy without using a dictionary!

We will begin with a 10-minute guidance session on how to start tadoku. Following that, you will have 50 minutes of silent reading. Finally, you will be divided into small groups to share about the books you read, either in English or Japanese, for 25 minutes.

Registration Deadline: Thursday June 19, while spots are available

Participation Requirements:　Basic Japanese proficiency preferred, but those who don’t speak Japanese but are interested in learning Japanese are also welcome. Native Japanese speakers & advanced-level Japanese learners are welcome to join too!
