Japanese Language Class
KON-NICHIWA!
The Japanese Language Classes by Indiana Japanese Language School (IJLS)
started with the mission to strengthen the bond of Indiana’s Japanese and
local communities. A native Japanese instructor will teach the classes
every Saturday to practice essential vocabularies/phrases and written Japanese.
(Students must be age 18 or older) Join us and get ready to have some fun!
We have eliminated the need to print/fill out the paper registration form,
and will now ask everyone to register via Google Forms. The instructor
will let you know that you are either one of the first 10 registrants (first-come,
first served) or placed on the waiting list.
To complete the registration, please bring a cashier's check (or money
order) of $35 payable to "Indiana Japanese Language School" on the registration day/payment day (10:00am to noon) to Indiana Japanese Language School/The Orchard School, located in 615 west 64th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46260.
If there's a vacancy, we will accept late enrollments. However, the class fee will NOT be prorated
or refunded for any missed sessions.
Please read below for the class details and registration process. If you
have any questions, please email ijls@indiana-j-school.net or kokusai.ijls@gmail.com
