It was a very hot and sunny day and it was nice to practise speaking in the garden.

​The topic of the month is ‘Globalisation in Japan’. However, please enjoy any topics with native speakers if you wish. 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. Please attend the session(s) that you are interested in.

Please remember you can help with organising and support the continuity of these events with your contributions – the contribution box will be on the table during the event. Your contribution is used to show courtesy (e.g. to purchase Japanese snacks) to the native speakers who kindly attend to talk with you. In the case of surplus, I would like to donate to the Japanese government organisation which helps people who suffer from the natural disasters in Japan.
I look forward to seeing you on 16th of July.
Warm wishes,
