Café Conversations: Language Learning Together

🍣 Flirting in Japanese: Polite, Charming and Respectful – Live on Zoom

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
• Start a polite conversation and ask about someone's hobbies
• Give natural compliments and answer one modestly
• Swap LINE contacts and send a friendly follow-up
• Invite someone out with the soft 〜ませんか? form

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

Each phrase comes with how to say it and when to use it. Near the end you try it out loud in a breakout room of 2 or 3, and you keep a phrase sheet with a week of practice ideas.

At most 12 people. Camera optional, nothing recorded, so feel free to get things wrong.
