An Unforgettable Experience

Center for Japanese Language （exchange student)　Jessica 

It was very lucky for me to be selected as a participant in May’s Japanese Chat Club. At first, to be honest, I was very much nervous because I don’t think my oral Japanese is good enough to communicate with others. However, the experience in the Japanese Chat Club totally changed my mind. 

The support to stations of the Yamanote Line, everyone was more excited! 

What’s more, we discussed much more about Japan with the supporters. Not only its scenery but its culture and people really fascinate me. Whatever it is Mount Fuji or Nagano’s ski sites, I am dreaming of going to these places when I’m fully available. 

Even no I could still remember all the memorable moments in the ICC’s Japanese Chat Club. I would definitely recommend the club to friends and schoolmates who want to practice their Japanese sers were so patient that I almost forgot I had only been in Japan for a month with broken Japanese. The games designed for the club were very useful for Japanese language studies and culture. The Yamanote Line (山手線) game was a good example. Speaking out loud about a certain type of fruit, food, or sports really enhanced my Japanese vocabulary. Of course, when it camepew, aking skills while learning more about Japan as well.
