There's not much in the way of learning basic Japanese in the North, NJ area. So if you are planning a trip to Japan, have an interest in learning some basic Japanese, or just want to meet some other folks who want to learn Japanese but don't know Japanese yet, come aboard. If you are already a master and want to share/help that's wonderful too. This is my first meetup and I am still trying to work out all the details. **REMINDER** This is for beginners, so if you can barely say konnichiwa! It's the right place for you. If you are looking for more, send me a message and we'll see what we can do. When I say beginner I mean JLPT N5 and below. KIDS ARE MOST WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO JOIN. The schedule will be based on when people are available to meet. Generally Saturday morning's at the Edgewater Mitsuwa works well and is a good meeting place. **Who am I** I am a Japanese speaker who used to live in Tokyo for business. I enjoy teaching Japanese. Recently I noticed many people are interested in learning more so I thought it might be a good idea to share in Edgewater, NJ.
