Your contributions support these events– the box will be on a table during the events. It will be used to show courtesy (e.g. to purchase Japanese snacks) to native speakers who kindly attend for your practice. Surplus of the cost will be donated to the government organisation helping sufferers from natural disasters in Japan.

Your friends are welcome to join. Please give me their name and e-mail address in advance so that I can invite them directly with greeting.

I look forward to seeing you on 20th of January.
 
Warm wishes,
