Start Japanese from Zero: Pilot Class for Complete Beginners
We are excited to announce our very first Zero-Beginner pilot class at Nihongo Picnic.
This class is for people who have never studied Japanese before.
Even if you cannot read hiragana or katakana yet, you are very welcome to join! We will provide romaji (alphabet support), so complete beginners can participate comfortably.
Speak Japanese from Day One
In this pilot lesson, we will focus on communication rather than reading and writing. Instead of studying characters, we want you to experience the fun of actually using Japanese from day one.
By the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
Say your name and where you are from
Ask someone their name and where they are from
Talk about your favorite Japanese food and drinks
Ask others about their favorite Japanese food and drinks
English Support Available
For this pilot lesson, explanations will be given in English, and you are welcome to ask questions in English as well.
Of course, there will also be plenty of opportunities to practice speaking Japanese during the lesson, so please come ready to speak lots of Japanese together!
Meet Your Teacher
The lesson will be taught by Akane Ueno (See her profile), who has been teaching with Nihongo Picnic since the early days of the school and has supported many beginner learners over the years.

We hope to see you there!
