For those of you on the west coast, here’s some great news:
Since January, the Japan Foundation Los Angeles has been offering Japanese language courses to the community, which will continue to be offered from April to June. The cost is pretty low, so if you want some practice at the basics of conversational Japanese, check it out. Here’s the course listing:
Classes are held at the Japanese American Cultural & Community Center (JACCC) in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles (244 South San Pedro St., Los Angeles, CA 90012). As a bonus, before and/or after your class at JF Nihongo, you can also experience Japanese culture in Little Tokyo–the heart of Japanese culture and immigration in the US.
Check out their website below for more details on participation and how to apply:


I’m impressed, I have to say. What a great blog.
Thank you very much!
