We have been actively assessing the status of COVID-19, and consequently have decided to conduct the Late Spring Japanese language courses online. This includes all Conversational Japanese courses and the Level 1, 2, & 10 Japanese courses. Late Spring Shodo courses are canceled.These virtual online classes will use an app called Zoom, which you must access via a smart phone, tablet or computer with internet connection. Please note that all times listed are New York time (ET/UTC-04:00).
Please visit your desired course webpage for further details. We hope to return to in-person classes as soon as it is safe to do so.
