In this ongoing class, you will learn new vocabulary, phrases, and common sentence structures in various situations.  Rather than looking up new words in a dictionary, you will learn how to use them in a setting/a scenario.  Each topic is based on the question, "what do I say when...?" 
There is a topic for each lesson, and there are 30 to 40 different topics, which will rotate.  Here are the topics of the 10-week meetings: 
Week 1 09/12/2022    Meeting someone for the first time.  Talking about yourself.
Week 2 09/19/2022:  Asking your friends about the weekend and his/her plan for the following week. 
Week 3 09/26/2022  Asking for direction and where things are.
Week 4:10/3/2022     Describing things with adjectives.
Week 5: 10/7/2022    Ordering and buying food/items.
Week 6: 10/14/2022  Asking your friend to go out with you.

Each lesson consists of: practice pronunciation and sentences, Q & A, short dialogue, and role play. This class will be conducted mainly in Japanese except for the explanation of grammar.  The presentation slides will be in Hiragana and Katakana most of the time.  The presentation slides for each week will be shared with all the participants so that they can review after class.
