Classes are offered throughout the year in four-session-blocks and each session is 8 weeks long. Students should expect to complete 3 chapters each session to ultimately complete the Genki I textbook at the end of the fourth session.

Breakdown of Beginners I Class Timeline:

Session 1: Covers chapters 1-3 of the Genki I Textbook

Session 2: Covers chapters 4-6 of the Genki 1 Textbook

Announcement:

Due to extremely high demand, registration for Beginner I Session 1 classes will be offered first to individuals on our waitlist and may not be posted publicly on our website.
