Get ready for JETAA Chicago's April language night!



Join us Wednesday, April 12th from 6:30-7:30 pm CDT, for JETAA Chicago's Japanese Language Series event for April!


This month, we'll be having a Pecha Kucha grab-bag! We will be chit-chatting on various subjects and gamifying our conversation. Not sure of your Japanese skill? No worries! The night will still be an opportunity for Japanese language practice for all skill levels. ぜひ来てください!


The Japanese Language Series events are intended to bring together JETAA members and supporters who want to stay engaged with Japanese language learning and use.
