Location: Toi Foundation Community Hub – 121 Gill Street, New Plymouth
Every Thursday night for four weeks from 26th February
5.30pm-7.00pm
This course is for people who already have a plan to travel or who want to travel to Japan in the
future. One of the great joys of travelling is interacting with local people and exploring the country
freely. Some people might use a translation tool/app or memorize phrases from online or a book.
There is a big difference between properly understanding the Japanese you are speaking and
speaking from your heart, compared to simply speaking through an app. I want to help students
become confident communicators and make friends with people in Japan.
The topics covered:
1 Greetings
2 Introductions
3 Shopping
4 Dining
5 Getting around
6 Activities
7 Emergencies
I include polite expressions and their own needs in Japanese in the lessons, which will help their
trips go more smoothly and comfortably.
