(Re)Making Sense of Kanji Part II: Practical Workshop
For many learners of Japanese, Kanji is often considered to be a significant hurdle in mastering the language. Join us in this thought-provoking and practical workshop, where we will dig deep into and practice different ways to think of, organize, and learn Kanji effectively. A continuation of our Kanji seminar in January, this workshop will take you one step further as you deepen your understanding of Kanji, expand on what you previously learned, and engage in practical applications to optimize your learning.
*Attendance of the previous seminar is not a requirement; we will briefly review relevant points from the previous seminar where necessary.
