Hi!
I’m Mimi- I wanted to gauge interest in an Intro to Japanese Class. As slight background I am half-Japanese, and up until March of this year lived/worked in Japan for 4 years where for 2 of those I was a teacher with the non-profit JOEE based out of Tokyo. It would be free, and a multi-part class focusing on the fundamental basics and key phrases for daily/ traveling conversation.
Best,
Mimi
I’d be interested! I’ve been poking around with Japanese on Duolingo and would like the opportunity for some in-person instruction!
very much interested!
I’m also interested! This sounds really fun 
Hey Mimi,
Glad to see that you’re interested in teaching classes at the space. @AmeliaG is currently working on updating our teacher 101 material so you can have a better experience. We can send that over your way if you’d like.
When teaching classes, you can also request a 50 dollar honorarium (payment) for your classes so long as you meet the basic requirements (need to be teaching a skill/making something and 3+ attendees).
Based on my own experiences teaching programming here, you’re going to get a lot of people to drop out if it’s a sequential course that builds up from previous lessons, so I would take that into account. What helped me out was structuring the courses into more one shots where people can drop in/out, but I’m not sure if that applies to your class.
This could be fun and helpful. I work for 7-Eleven (Japanese company) and some conversational Japanese would make me the only person in the office to speak any at all.
Very interested - will it be for adults only or could minors attend?
I’d be interested. I’ve played a couple of those Hiragana / Katakana memorization games, and I’ve picked up a little bit of the most bare-bones basic vocabulary, but when it comes to particles, sentence structure, etc. I’d be totally lost.
That would be great, thank you!
I’ll definitely keep that in mind, and see if there’s a way to kind of structure them into more focused one shot classes? As it’s a language building class I’m trying to consider how I can do that without repeating the same introduction, but I’ll see what I can come up with!
I’m interested! I’ve been studying Japanese on my own for roughly 2 years and the biggest thing that’s been holding me back is a lack of conversation and study partners.
