Practise Japanese: Ask Whether a Class Is Still Running

A reason to worry about cancellation is not a confirmed cancellation. This Japanese roleplay workshop helps you ask about an event’s status, interpret the answer and choose a relevant follow-up instead of acting on your first assumption.

What you need to know

Practise Japanese: Ask Whether a Class Is Still Running

Rain affects a fictional pottery class normally held by a garden. You ask whether it is happening and learn it has moved to the main room. The exercise does not check a real event or contact its organizer.

Separate uncertainty from confirmed facts.

Ask about the event’s status.

Distinguish cancellation from a move.

Confirm the action the reply requires.

Name what remains uncertain

You know it is raining. You do not know the organizer’s decision. Keep those facts separate when preparing the question. Announcing that the class is cancelled would turn an unverified guess into information for someone else.

Ask about the planned class

Identify today’s class and ask whether it will happen as planned. Use polite wording for an organizer you do not know. Mocchi can help simplify the question without making it vague.

JapaneseRomajiMeaning
今日の教室は予定どおりありますか。Kyō no kyōshitsu wa yotei-dōri arimasu ka.Is today’s class taking place as planned?

Find the main answer first

Read the reply for the status before concentrating on the room. The positive answer means the event continues. Mentioning rain does not itself mean cancellation; the rest of the sentence explains the response to the weather.

JapaneseRomajiMeaning
はい、雨なので、メインの部屋で行います。Hai, ame na node, mein no heya de okonaimasu.Yes. Because it is raining, we will hold it in the main room.

Confirm the relevant action

The useful response checks the new location. If you do not know where the room is, ask. Do not invent a floor number to make the exchange sound complete.

The learner politely asks a class organizer for a clear update in a craft studio
The next question should follow the answer, including whether the event still happens.
JapaneseRomajiMeaning
メインの部屋ですね。わかりました。Mein no heya desu ne. Wakarimashita.The main room, then. Understood.

Try a different outcome

In the second version the event is cancelled today. Asking about the next session is relevant; confirming today’s room is not. Use a suitable available AI Sensei conversation and let the reply determine your response. Close the complete prepared dialogue so you must listen.

Review interpretation before style

Check whether your next action matched the status, then choose one language correction. Mocchi can help explain the contrast and make a short review task. For ongoing practice, compare current access and usage limits with the preparation and conversation you want to repeat.

Key points

A practical way to improve

Ask whether today’s fictional class will take place. Respond to a reply saying it has moved indoors. Try another version where the class is cancelled and ask a different follow-up.

    Choose one clear goal

    Focus each session on a situation or skill you can actually use.

  3. 3

    Review and repeat

    Keep useful corrections and revisit the same skill until it feels natural.
