Japanese Reading Group: March 2026
In March we'll read part of an essay about politics by writer and activist Amamiya Karin titled "「日本人ファースト」以降のこの国で起きていることと、世界各国の「移民排斥」「自国第一」の動き" (What's happening in the country after "Japanese First," and the immigrant rejection/one's-own-country-first movements around the world).
This essay is a little long, so we'll only read the first two sections marked with clovers. Click here for the reading.

About the USJETAA Japanese Reading Group
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 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.
