🍣 Flirting in Japanese: Polite, Charming and Respectful – Live Class for Complete Beginners

A live one-hour Japanese class on Zoom for complete beginners. Start a friendly conversation, give a compliment, ask someone out and say or hear no gracefully, in polite Japanese.

In the hour, you'll learn to:

• Say no politely, recognise an indirect no, and take no gracefully
• Understand 好きです, 付き合ってください and why 愛してる is rare
• Invite someone out with the soft 〜ませんか? form
• Give natural compliments and answer one modestly
• Start a polite conversation and ask about someone's hobbies

Every phrase comes with romaji, so you don't need to read Japanese yet.

You repeat together with the whole class (nobody is singled out), then practise in small breakout rooms of 2 or 3. Afterwards your phrase sheet with a pronunciation guide stays in your account.

Small group, friendly and practical. Camera optional, nothing recorded.
