Japanese Course for Beginners JET Participants and Alternates are invited to attend Japanese class on either Wednesday or Thursday evenings from May 2 to June 28, 2001. These lessons will focus on beginner level 'survival' Japanese and provide participants with an excellent opportunity to get to know each other. In addition, the lessons will be designed to help clarify anticipated cross-cultural issues with native speakers of Japanese. Previous JET participants will share information about finances, health, recreation, travel, and other topics requested by Participants and Alternates. Each session will conclude with an open Question and Answer Period.
Attire is semi-professional.
The Two Day Orientation will provide Participants and Alternates with valuable information about life in Japan and offer opportunities to have questions answered by former JETs. Attendance is Mandatory. Important information, including documents for your departure will be distributed at this time. Participants will be departing from the Ottawa International airport on Saturday July 28, 2001. Again, professional business attire is expected.
