Japanese for Beginners with Federico!!

A Beginner Japanese class for people with zero to any degree of experience with the language.

We will be starting from the writing system and basic vocabulary, and then we will introduce one or two basic grammar concepts per lesson paired with reading and conversation exercises.

Federico Zwirner (Fred, he/they) is a native Italian speaker from Venice with a degree in Japanese Language Culture and Society. His multicultural upbringing set him on the path of learning lots of different languages and cultures, and passionately trying to share his love for the beauty of why and how humans describe themselves and the world around them. Fred is currently studying Linguistics and Gaelic on their own and working in the Coop's kitchen as a Cook, learning about and preparing lots of different dishes from many different cultures.
