Getting rusty on the language you have learned? Hoping to practice Japanese speaking skills for your work? The Japanese Conversation Corner will be a spot for you to meet and practice Japanese with peers who love and speak Japanese like you! - Within every meeting, one theme will be displayed and discussed without restrictions! - Know Japanese Culture through discussion, Q & A - Speak/Practice Japanese with Native Japanese speakers and those who also learn Japanese!
For beginners, here's a list of useful tools to get started:
In-person classes, Japan Society, http://www.usajapan.org/language-classes/general-information/
Self-study books, the Genki series is pretty good. (We have people who join after the first book).
Conversation practice, http://italki.com for online tutors and language partners.
Self-study audio lessons, http://japanesepod101.com is a podcast series for learning Japanese.
Lots of choices!
