Japanese assistance line on Teams

Dear Japanese teachers,

Have you ever wanted to ask Japanese-related questions but were unable to find a native speaker? Have you ever wondered whether your Japanese expressions are accurate? Or perhaps you wish to learn more about these expressions?

You can now book a time to speak to the Tanken Centre Officers via Teams. This support is for non-native Japanese teachers with questions/requests such as:

• - confirming correct particles
• - checking the intonation accuracy and pronunciation
• - Japanese conversation practice.

Any questions related to the Japanese language and culture are welcome. If we are unable to answer, we will forward your question to the Languages statewide staffroom, and you will remain anonymous. All you need to do is email us with your preferred time on the available dates below, and we will get back to you with a confirmed time for a chat on Teams.

Available dates:

• 3, 7, 16 March.
• ​

Each time slot will be 10 minutes in duration, and you can book any time between 9 am and 4 pm.

If you prefer asking questions in writing, please send us an email at nihongo.tanken@det.nsw.edu.au. You can also ask your questions in the statewide staffroom's 'Community noticeboard' channel directly, and we'll reply there.
​
If these dates are not suitable for you, please let us know. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Kind regards,
​
Mieko and Taka
Nihongo Tanken Centre
