Once again NEJETAA will be offering JET alumni the chance to sign up for Japanese language classes! This is a great opportunity whether it’s to polish up your Japanese language skills or keep you on track for studying for the next Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) in July. These classes are provided for JET alumni members only.
(Depending on interest) Classes will be available for beginner, intermediate, advanced and business levels and will be small groups with a Japanese language teacher. Sessions will be held in the evenings once a week for about an hour at a location in the Boston area that will be public transportation accessible. Location has yet to be determined, but we will be trying to find a location that is T accessible in the Cambridge Area. Costs are still being determined as it will depend on the number of people who sign up, but NEJETAA will be able to help off-set some of the costs to make it more affordable for members! The total cost for classes must be made on the first day of class or in advance…. more details to follow.
Please fill out the form with your Japanese language level and availability.
***Please complete by 6PM ON SATURDAY JAN. 26, 2013*** We’ll be in touch with you soon after to confirm dates and costs.
If you have any questions please use the space at the very bottom of the form to submit them to us.
If you experience any technical difficulties, please email Christina at webmaster at nejetaa dot com
