June Japanese Language Night TONIGHT @ 6 pm CST!

Don't forget to sign up for our next Japanese Language Series night happening TONIGHT, June 28th at 6PM!

This month, we're celebrating outgoing JETs, with a focus on games and quizzes to make sure our next generation JETs have their bases covered for communication in JET! It's not going to be drills and worksheets though. We'll be making it much more fun and memorable. Topics to be covered: mood and communication in Japan, vocabulary that should make your ears perk up, and the keys to your livelihood in Japan (banking, haircuts, checkout counters, taxis, making reservations, and more)!

Sign up here!

Never attended before? Unsure of your proficiency level? That’s okay! All levels of experience with Japanese are welcome! If you're curious, don't hesitate to sign up, or contact Rurik for more information.
