The goal of the USJETAA Japanese Reading Group is to help advanced beginner and intermediate level students improve their reading skills. Each month, we explore a short reading and discuss its literary and cultural significance. Participants should attempt to do the reading on their own and come to the meeting with any questions. We will spend the meeting each month reading the assignment sentence by sentence to understand how the Japanese is working.
Registration is free, but we always appreciate donations to support these types of programs. Zoom link will be sent upon completing registration.
Post questions, discuss the reading, etc. in our
USJETAA Japanese Reading Group Facebook Group.
In September, we will read a blog post from Note.com titled 北海道は秋の気配 (Signs of Autumn in Hokkaido). Click here for the reading.
This is a short blog post with lots of photos, and I think we should be able to read through it quickly, so I encourage you to try and read through other blog posts on the site and bring a sentence you enjoyed to share with the group! It'll be Japanese language show and tell. You can browse randomly from the home page, but it might be good to search for keywords that you're interested in to find material. I look forward to seeing what else you've read!
