Online Nihongo Salon

The Japan Foundation, Toronto hosted a Nihongo Salon with the aim of providing a place where advanced learners and Japanese language teachers in Canada who would like to maintain Japanese language proficiency can speak Japanese regularly.

These gatherings were organized for Japanese language teachers in Canada who mainly participated in previous language brush up workshops, with the hope that they could be an opportunity for teachers and advanced learners to regularly speak Japanese and to network with other Japanese teachers in Canada.

In 2023, we are changing the format and will post new information soon so stay tuned.
