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 February we'll read an essay from the contemporary essayist Hanamae Yuka titled "「いいよ」という言葉をわたしは使わない (I Don't Use the Words "Ii yo")". We'll try to read the first two sections of the essay, but please feel free to read further if you'd like. Click here for the reading.
