JLPT reading practice @ our Japanese Language Series event TOMORROW!

Remember to join us TOMORROW, Thursday, October 27th from 6:30-7:30 pm CST, for JETAA Chicago's Japanese Language Series event for October!

It's time to prepare for the JLPT in December, so we're putting our noses in the books! We will be going through some reading (or dokkai) strategies and activities based on the JLPT N4, N3, and N2. Not preparing for any of those tests? No worries! The night will still be an opportunity for Japanese listening 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.

Sign up here!

This event is for JET alumni and Friends of JET.

JETogether 2022: Dia de Muertos!

JET alumni and friends of JET are invited to join JETAA Chicago when we return to the location of one of the first ever JETogethers - the National Museum of Mexican Art. The Museum has hosted the art of many Japanese-American and Japanese-Mexican artists over the years, including Shizu Saldamando, and on Saturday, November 5th, we are visiting their annual Dia de Muertos Exhibit!

The Museum, founded in 1982 and located in Chicago’s Pilsen neighborhood, was created to highlight the multitudes of one of our city’s most vibrant communities from their own perspective. If you have not visited before, then this is your chance to experience one of Chicago’s cultural touchstones!

We will meet in front of the Museum at 11am sharp! Street parking is available around Harrison Park where the museum is located (watch out for the Neighborhood Parking signs!) and the Museum is easily accessible via public transportation on the Damen bus, 18th St. bus or Pink line train. Find your best route here!

And after we are done, feel free to stick around for a Coffee & Conversation Nijikai!

This event is for JET alumni and Friends of JET.
