Orlando Japanese Language Meetup

We are currently reading the Fate Stay/Night visual novel.

There is only so much that a sanitized, dumbed down, unnatural text will get you, after some time you need to get thrown into the river to show yourself that you can actually swim, even if you have trouble starting. Get a Japanese dictionary, take a deep breath and jump into the water!

Reading and listening practice at a more advanced level through manga and anime. This will be at a JLPT N3-N1 level. Please RSVP and include any guests that you plan to bring. If you can no longer attend, please remove yourself so anyone who is waitlisted can attend.

Call or text me if needed at 4079287508

Everyone is free to review the last class' vocab and post any questions you have as comments in the following doc:

Welcome to the Orlando Japanese Language Meetup.

At this event, we focus on Japanese listening and reading skills. We first listen to an exciting Japanese story. Then, together, we read and translate the material into English. Afterwards, if there is extra time, attendees can ask the group any questions they have about the Japanese or English language.

This event is open to Japanese language learners, English language learners, native Japanese speakers, and native English speakers.

For this event to work as planned, we ask that attendees PLEASE ARRIVE ON TIME. Since this event is only 30 minutes!

This event is suggested for the Upper Beginner level. This is defined as being at the JLPT N4 level or above. This includes having a working knowledge of Japanese grammar, the ability to conjugate simple and intermediate forms of grammar, an awareness of polite and impolite speech, and familiarity with particles.

If you don't meet all the requirements but have a hard-working nature and are willing to accept the challenge, then you're welcome to attend.

Remote: See you online! 😄

PLEASE wear headphones, earpieces, headsets, or earbuds during the video calls. We ask you to attend these events in an environment free of noisy distractions and background noise.

Please READ the group's online procedures and guidelines: https://drive.google.com/file/d/10VyuyWKbcpPzFyG5kAE-Eh4fHqS_6VhO/view?usp=sharing BEFORE RSVP-ing.
