Adult Japanese Language & Culture Program 2024
Co-offered By Victoria Nikkei Cultural Society (VNCS) & Japanese Friendship Society (JFS)
Explore Japanese Language and Culture with Our Updated Program!
We are excited to announce the second year of our collaborative Japanese language and culture program, co-hosted by VNCS and JFS. This year, we’ve enhanced the curriculum based on valuable feedback from our past participants to better suit individual learning needs.
Our program is perfect for adults eager to start their journey into the Japanese language and culture. Over nine 1.5-hour sessions, you’ll learn essential Japanese expressions, basic grammar, and gain an introduction to the Japanese writing systems. In addition to language lessons, you’ll enjoy hands-on cultural experiences, including Shodō (calligraphy) and Chadō (the way of tea). Whether you’re new to Japanese or looking to refresh your skills, this program provides a solid foundation. Plus, you’ll gain insights into the essence of traditional Japanese culture through interactive activities. Join us and take the first step towards immersing yourself in the rich world of Japan!
