Manami Miyamoto

Hello! My name is Manami, and I will be leading a workshop on the Japanese language.

This workshop is designed for both beginners and intermediate learners. By the end of this session, you’ll be able to say and write your name in Japanese, introduce yourself confidently in Japanese, and engage in simple everyday conversations. For intermediate students, we’ll focus on refining your skills, expanding your vocabulary, practicing more complex sentence structures, and diving into Kanji to build a stronger foundation. Whether you're just starting out or looking to deepen your knowledge, everyone is welcome, and we’ll provide full support along the way—no prior experience is needed. Learning the language will open the door to deeper interaction with Japanese culture and traditions!
