Hello, I just learned about Natively and joined here today! I live in Vancouver, BC, and ideally was looking for a local course that uses Tobira but I think I will try to look online now. Does anyone know of any online courses that will start from the beginning of Tobira? I would gladly join that course! I have the July 2009 edition. I covered a couple of the later chapters when I joined a course several years back late. But I want to start from the beginning, I really enjoyed the text. Any advice would be much appreciated. 宜しくおねがいします。

Welcome!
Idk about a close, but you may find this thread of interest:
Unless you’re specifically interested in a classroom seeing, I’d suggest using italki.com - you’ll get more personalized instruction, probably for cheaper, and there’s definitely teachers who will go through Tobira with you

Oh I think that one I thought only about the intermediate textbook when I created it, forgot there was a beginner series too … But as of now it’s a pretty loose study thread so I guess it can still be used for questions and check ins.

That‘s ok, the 2009 edition is the intermediate textbook, the beginner ones were published 2021 and later.

Thanks again. The one place that I know used to offer a Tobira class in Seattle, WA now apparently stopped it. Sigh. Well, and someone probably already posted about this so apologies for the duplication, but there are resources I could use to just go it alone (link follows), though it would be great/much better to learn from the text in a group setting with a teacher where there could be interaction with others, at least that is how I seem to learn best. I study on my own and then practice and am like, Wow all that studying alone did not sink in. Tobira Exercises | Tobira Study Resources
