May Japanese Language Night Next Tuesday!

Don't forget to join us for our next Japanese Language Series event on Tuesday, May 31st from 6-7 pm CST!

This month, to celebrate the transition from spring to summer, we will be hosting a beginner's night! We'll be focusing on fun activities that double as learning strategies. Not a beginner? Not to worry, these activities are still fun for all levels and good for staying sharp.

Sign up here!

The Japanese Language Series is an ongoing series of monthly meetings for alumni and friends of JET to practice their Japanese together. Anyone is welcome to join at any time, and as always, all levels of experience with Japanese are welcome!

*This event is for JET alumni and Friends of JET.
