Let’s practice simple Japanese conversation together. This group lesson is for A2-B1 learners who want to speak more Japanese, but still feel nervous or unsure during conversation. You do not need to speak perfectly. Short sentences are okay. Mistakes are okay. The goal is to get used to speaking Japanese step by step. At the beginning of the lesson, everyone gives a short self-introduction. After that, I will lead the conversation with easy questions, so you do not have to worry about what to say. Then, we may divide into smaller rooms and practice speaking with other students. You can use the questions in the PDF if you need help. While you are speaking, I check grammar, type corrections, and write more natural ways to say things in the Zoom chat. You can speak, listen, read the chat, and learn useful expressions during the lesson. Example topics: 1. Self-introduction, goals, and plans 2. Experiences in Japan and topics about Japan 3. Daily life 4. Hobbies, interests, and things you want to talk about 5. Food and drinks 6. Travel experiences and travel plans 7. Your town or hometown 8. Your recent week or month 9. Plans for next week or next month 10. Free conversation and questions from the teacher This lesson is a good place to practice the same basic conversation patterns many times. By listening to other students, you can also learn new words, new answers, and different ways to speak. Let’s enjoy speaking Japanese in a friendly and relaxed group. We may use a 10-page PDF during the lesson. The PDF has many questions for conversation practice. You can use it when you do not know what to say, or when you want to continue the conversation. The questions include topics such as self-introduction, daily life, hobbies, food, travel, Japan, your town, recent events, and future plans. You can also use the PDF before the lesson to prepare, or after the lesson to review.
