The goal of the USJETAA Japanese Reading Group is to help advanced, beginner and intermediate level learners improve their reading skills. Each month we discuss a short reading from Aozora Bunko, a repository of public domain literature. Participants should attempt to do the reading on their own and bring questions to the group.
We gather online and read 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.
Afraid you're nihongo isn't good enough? Don't worry- bring your ganbarre spirit and join us!
In June, we'll read the first half of 夏帽子 (Summer Hat) by poet and essayist Sakutaro Hagiwara. We will target reading up to the following sentence: だがすぐ後の方から、女の呼びかけてくる声を聞いた。
The Japanese Reading Group is meeting on Saturday, June 10, 2023 at 8am JT. Not in Japan? See times listed below or find your time zone.
