Your Japanese doesn't have to be perfect for it to become part of your everyday life.

Learn, speak, read, and grow with Noriko and a supportive community of intermediate and advanced Japanese learners.

New Workshop

Explore Japan Through Showa Songs

歌で出会う昭和の日本

📅 Sunday 29 November 2026
Two sessions with the same content: choose the one that suits you

Listen, read and sing!

We'll listen to Showa-era songs I've chosen, read the lyrics together and explore the words and feelings behind them. We'll also learn a little about life in Japan at the time and share our thoughts in Japanese. At the end, you're welcome to sing along!

You don't need to know any Showa songs, and you don't need to be a confident singer.

  • Level: Upper Intermediate and above (approx. JLPT N2+)
  • Language: Entirely in Japanese
  • Where: Zoom
  • Price: £10, including a review worksheet
