At first, to be honest, I was very much nervous because I don\u2019t think my oral Japanese is good enough to communicate with others. However, the experience in the Japanese Chat Club totally changed my mind.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The support<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0to stations of the Yamanote Line, everyone was more excited!<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245417&quot;:false,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What\u2019s more, we discussed much more about Japan with the supporters. Not only its scenery but its culture and people really fascinate me.

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 (<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u5c71\u624b\u7dda<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">) game was a good example. Speaking out loud about a certain type of fruit, food, or sports really enhanced my Japanese vocabulary.
