JASH Japanese Language Program
Give the gift of Japanese Language this holiday season!
Our classes are organized by chapters in our textbooks. The listings are in order of beginner to advanced. Each class in a session contains eight lessons, one for each week of the session.
Japanese Classes are currently being held online via Zoom Meeting. To receive the maximum benefit of JASH’s online Japanese Language courses, students will need access to a device with a stable internet connection, a microphone, and a camera (such as on a laptop, smartphone, or tablet). Students are strongly encouraged to keep their cameras on for the entirety of each class session.
JASH Japanese Language Program classes are geared towards adults and open to persons 14 years and older.
