Beginner Level
This class provides a space where students can freely discuss topics related to traveling in Japan and Japanese culture. Each session, we will cover practical travel tips and explore various aspects of Japan, incorporating discussions on Japanese vocabulary and other cultural elements. While we won't focus heavily on studying Japanese grammar or characters, this class aims to help you learn Japanese in a practical travel context.

Students can share their drawings and discuss their favorite anime. Additionally, students are encouraged to suggest topics for discussion. Below are examples of topics for the class:

Week 1: What should we do after arriving in Japan? 
Week 2: Let's talk about our favorite anime and manga, and the figures, manga books, and plushies we want to shop for in Japan. 
Week 3: What Japanese games or video games do you like to play? What games do you want to buy in Japan? 
Week 4: Do you know what kind of food is popular in Japan? Let's try reading some of the menus. 
Week 5: What Japanese inventions do you know about? Are there any electronic products you want to buy from Japan?

In this class, we'll freely discuss anything related to Japan. If you're joining to prepare for your trip, feel free to ask the class any questions. The class will help you get ready for your journey!
