All right, we know you can introduce yourself and make a good impression. In Japanese 2, we’ll teach you how to take the conversation further. This class is for you if you're familiar with the basics of grammar and have Hiragana down.
Each class meets at the same time for 10 weeks - creating consistency in your language learning.
We believe in hands-on learning, rather than getting lost in a textbook or sucked into perfection of grammar.
We exclusively hire instructors with a conversation based and student-centered approach to teaching, providing the best in-class experience.
Speaking is at the heart of all of our classes, and in an immersive setting, you’ll get even more opportunity to practice critical speaking and listening skills.
Step 1
Basics of reading and writing Japanese. Present simple and present progressive tenses. Number and gender agreement
Step 2
Talk about tourist destinations. Talk about where things are. Make a reservation and order food at a restaurant. Talk about everyday activities. Give and receive gifts. Express your opinions. Express gratitude. Offer and refuse.
Step 3
From day one, you'll be engaging in conversation with your instructor and your classmates. This will prepare you to feel confident and comfortable when speaking with natives.
Step 4
Take this class if you have studied some Japanese before, are familiar with Hiragana, and can say a few basic things about yourself in the present tense. You should also be able to recognize past tense forms.
We love questions, almost as much as we love providing answers. Here are a few samplings of what we're typically asked, along with our responses
Most students do miss a class, or two, and we’re here to help ensure that you won’t fall behind despite any missed classes. We’ve set up our curriculum to make lessons easy to follow along outside of class, and your teacher will reach out to your group each week with a summary of materials, topics, and homework covered in-class.
We know our students and teachers probably have holiday plans, so we don't hold classes on Federal holidays.
Plans change—we get it. You have until 7 days before the start date of your Group Course to make any cancelations or same-level transfers. After that, there are no refunds under any circumstance. During the first 2 weeks of class, however, if you feel your level isn't the right fit, reach out to help@cricketmedia.com, and we will transfer you to a better fit, free of charge!
All of our group classes meet for a total of 20 hours of live instruction. Some courses meet 2 hours once a week for a total of 10 sessions, while others meet 1 hour twice a week for a total of 20 sessions.
Only students 18 years or older can participate in this course. If you are looking for options for students under 18, please check out our Kids and Teens page!
As long as the group course has not been cancelled or it has spots left, there is no deadline to sign up. However, we strongly encourage you to sign up at least two weeks in advance in order to secure your spot!
