Coaching
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 and read the assignment sentence by sentence to understand how the Japanese is working.
You can also join the USJETAA Japanese Reading Group private Facebook group where links to the reading, access to a recording of the previous month’s session, and other details are posted each month.
Our Japanese Language Coaching sessions are designed to boost your language skills with practical tips and strategies, whether you want to improve reading, speaking, or comprehension. Tailored for advanced beginners and intermediate learners, each quarterly session focuses on a specific topic and offers real-time guidance.
Led by experts Daniel Morales, Fukushima 2005-2008, (host of the Japanese Reading Group) and Chris Vasselli, Hyogo 2012-2014, (Nihongo app developer), you'll receive personalized advice drawn from their combined experience of over 40 years. 一緒にがんばろう—let’s work hard and succeed together!
