Let’s speak Japanese!
Do you try your hardest in Japanese class but as soon as you leave the room…
“I don’t really have a chance to speak much”
“It’s hard to make Japanese friends”
Do any of these thoughts seem familiar to you?
If so, then join the popular ICC Japanese Chat Club (aka, Pera Pera Club), which is designed to help you communicate in Japanese and enjoy “real” conversation with Japanese students.
If you find it hard to meet and get to know new people, the “club” style of this program means that you can meet and chat with the same members many times, and get to know each other on a deeper level.
This semester, in order to allow as many international students to participate as possible we will be continuing the online format. You can join and participate from home and even from outside Japan!
We’re sure there are many international students who have not had the chance to make Japanese friends yet. So all of you, don’t miss this chance–sign up now!
This is a chance for you not only to practice your Japanese but also to mix with Japanese students and grow your on-campus network even a little so that you will feel more comfortable when you come to campus.
