Learn Japanese

I have been told that I should post this here, so here goes:

I’ve told a number of people that I would be open to the idea of teaching Japanese informally. My conditions for teaching would be some minimum number of students (disseminating information one person at a time is inefficient, after all) and the understanding from everyone that the teaching is very informal, meaning that I wouldn’t really prep for the sessions, and would mostly ramble in a useful way. I’d probably be interested in something more interactive than lecture-style, so conversational practice can be had, etc.

Anyway, let me know if you’re interested, preferably by posting a comment so I don’t have to keep track of random votes coming from every which way.

[Edit:] Actually, I just had another idea. What if we did it like the Japanese lunch tables here, so we’d have speakers of all levels; the advanced speakers could practice conversation, and the beginners could get more lesson-type conversation in a mixture of English and Japanese (this may mean that we’d decide to have a bit of “homework” for the beginners, but that would be open to discussion and ultimately decided by what the participants favored, of course). Again, let me know!

  Again, I’m up for that.

  Sounds like a cool idea, though the chances of scheduling working out for mewould be higher if I didn’t work out here in Inconvenientville. 不便町?
