Japanese Learning

“Don’t try to figure out how [a grammar point] fits in the sentence. The Japanese language simply borrows the structure when expressing a desire.” “You are correct, that word also has that [completely different] meaning, but only when written with other characters.” “Let’s do a three-minute speech. Please think about how you would answer the question, ‘What is the Good News?’”
​
Our lives are filled with these sorts of statements. In July, we joined the Tokyo Academy of Communications Language Institute to learn Japanese. We had a great Japanese foundation thanks to our previous time in Japan, but we knew we still had much to learn. TAC specializes in conversation-based learning, which means that our class time is primarily spent speaking, listening, and responding to teachers and classmates. This has allowed us to utilize what we already knew, while learning more grammar within natural sounding contexts.

TAC specifically caters to missionaries, so they try to be as flexible as possible to help train missionaries how to successfully minister in Japanese. However, anyone may join the school, which creates some great conversations in class.

We love watching God fit all the little details together for His glory and work here in Japan.
