I am happy you all had great time to talk with native speakers.今日もたくさん話すれんしゅうができ、色々な人と会話ができ、良かったですね。

‘Japanese Speaking Session’ and ‘English Speaking Session’ will be held on the third Saturday every month from 2016. Please feel free to attend either or both of the sessions. The topic of the month is your New Year resolution. I hope this will provide a cross-cultural learning platform for you to exchange information, opinions and help your deeper understanding of different cultures with native Japanese speakers.

Date: 16th  of  January 2016    (the 3rd Saturday every month)
Time: Japanese Speaking Session  10:00 am – 10:55 am
         English Speaking Session    11:05 am – 12:00 pm
Venue: Waterloo, London
Free of charge

Please remember you can help with organising and support the continuity of these events with your contributions – you can find the contribution box on the table during the event. That money is used to show courtesy (e.g. to buy Japanese snacks) to the native speakers who kindly attend to talk with you. In the case of reaching extra money, that will be donated to an organisation which helps people who suffer from the natural disasters in Japan.

I look forward to seeing you on 16th of January.
Warm wishes,
