The Quezon City Public Library (QCPL) is once again offering free online Japanese language classes beginning on June 19.

According to a press statement, the classes are designed for beginners and cover basic grammar, vocabulary, everyday greetings, as well as the basics of writing systems Katana and Hiragana. Classes will be led by instructors and trained volunteers from Jellyfish Education Philippines, Inc., which is QCPL’s official partner since the program’s launch in 2019.

“The QCPL’s Free Online Language Class opens doors of opportunity for every QCitizen—reminding us that in Quezon City, learning knows no limits, and progress begins with knowledge,” QC Mayor Joy Belmonte said in the statement.

The classes are free of charge but are limited to the first 500 participants.

Interested parties must register through the Facebook page of QCPL. Once registered, they will receive a confirmation email. They must confirm their attendance within 24 hours otherwise, their slot will be given to the waitlisted.

Since its 2019 start, the free Japanese language Program has already produced more than 3,500 graduates. It continues to be among the city's most in-demand learning programs.

Apart from the two-hour class on June 19, there will be five more rounds of the free Japanese classes this year, according to the QCPL website. — LA, GMA Integrated News
