Let’s talk in Japanese! Calling all Japanese Learners! ICC Japanese Chat Club (November 2025)

Poster

We’re beginning to feel the signs of autumn little by little. 
Are your classes and campus life going smoothly? 

To international students studying Japanese: Even though you work hard in class, do you feel like you have “no opportunity to speak Japanese” once you leave the classroom? 

Perhaps you’re also facing the challenge of “not being able to make Japanese friends…” 

If so, we highly recommend the ICC Japanese Chat Club, a popular event held every semester!
At this event, you’ll have the chance to engage in lively conversations with Japanese students while practicing your Japanese. 

If you feel a bit nervous about talking to new people, don’t worry! 

The event follows a “club-style” format, so you’ll have the opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly, giving you a greater chance to make friends who share your interests. 

★Feedback from past participants 

“It’s a short time, but I get to speak a lot of Japanese!”
“I’ve made new Japanese friends!” 

We look forward to your participation!
