Japanese Language Program (Fall 2025)

Language Program

Register Here: Adult Japanese Language & Culture

This program is designed for adults who wish to begin learning the Japanese language and culture. It includes ten 90-minute lessons covering basic Japanese expressions, grammar, an introduction to the Japanese writing systems, and hands-on cultural experiences in Shodō (calligraphy) and Chadō (the way of tea). It is an ideal introductory course for those with no prior experience learning Japanese, as well as those who have studied it in the past and wish to refresh their knowledge. Through language instruction and interactive cultural activities, participants will also gain insights into the essence of traditional Japanese culture.

Instructor: Mieko Fedrau has been teaching Japanese to students in Edmonton and Victoria for over 30 years. She has taught children from Japanese families and non-native adults at community schools, public and private high schools as well as universities. She is very excited about the opportunity to introduce Japanese language and culture at Gorge Park Pavilion this fall. Mieko enjoys practicing traditional Japanese arts such as calligraphy, tea ceremony and flower
