Japanese Lessons
日本語で話しましょう！ Let's Speak Japanese!
The BTSCC had to shut down in-person gatherings after the 2020 pandemic. But now, the BTSCC's FREE Japanese Lessons have returned! Click the link below to join the Google Classroom and look forward to our first virtual lesson on September 9th, 2025!
The BTSCC's Japanese lessons are open to all, regardless of skill level or previous experience. Older children are welcome, but most students are high school age to adults, and the curriculum and activities are more suitable for older learners. Lessons are designed to be modular and require minimal knowledge from previous weeks. The focus of the class is on casual conversation and practical functionality for visitors to Japan.
Japanese lessons will now be conducted virtually through Google Classroom and Google Meet! This provides additional convenience for students whether they are unable to travel for in-person lessons, or have missed previous lessons and would like to review materials. Lessons will be held on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of September, October, November, and December from 6pm to 7pm, so stay tuned for meeting links and lesson materials!
