Japanese/English Conversation
Every 2nd Thursday

This is a great way to learn the Japanese you need to get your hair cut, find clothes in 'gaijin' sizes, or practice making a restaurant reservation. Simple textbook Japanese becomes easier and more comfortable to speak. Patient Japanese members are your teachers. This friendly group meets in the TUC library and often goes out for coffee afterward to discuss things about Japan and its people. Join us, no matter how little Japanese you know. This is a great place to meet new friends from many cultures. For more information contact Hiromi at: Hiromibeat@yahoo.co.jp
