The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh's downtown branch will host "We Learn: Survival Japanese (Tourist to Beginner Level)" on Fridays from May 1 through May 29.
Enjoy learning the basics of the Japanese language and culture from a certified, native Japanese instructor. We will learn greetings, etiquette and manners, survival phrases for traveling to Japan, visiting interesting tourist locations, and ordering food and shopping. We will also learn reading and writing – Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji, Emoji, Anime and Manga. Each session is designed to be interactive and fun. The agenda can vary based on the interests of the students.
We Learn groups are volunteer-facilitated peer learning groups.
The classes run from 11:00 am, and the library is located at 612 Smithfield St. (map).
