How are you all doing?\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
<\/span>Have you settled into university life yet?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps you\u2019re also facing the challenge of “not being able to make Japanese friends…”<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If so, we highly recommend the ICC Japanese Chat Club, a popular event held every semester! <\/span>
\nAt this event, you\u2019ll have the chance to engage in lively conversations with Japanese students while practicing your Japanese.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you feel a bit nervous about talking to new people, don’t worry!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2605Feedback from past participants<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
