This summer, the Japan Foundation, Toronto (JFT) has a new mini-course for anyone who wants to take Japanese for a test-run: Marugoto Summer Sampler! This course places its focus on speaking, and over three weeks in July/August students will gain the knowledge and skills to start talking about themselves and their world in Japanese.
And not only will students learn to speak in Japanese, they will also put it to use outside of the classroom with a trip to a local Japanese restaurant!
Registration for this class is now full. We thank everyone for their interest.
Course Content & Schedule:
This course runs Tuesday and Thursday nights for three weeks in July/August, and includes 5 classes and 1 night out! In each class, not only will we look at the Japanese language, but also showcase Japanese culture and various Japanese resources available at the JFT and in the city at large!
