August 22 (Thu) Free Japanese Learning Event
Time: 1:30-4:30pm
Where: Setagaya Volunteer Center in Sangenjaya
JCA, the volunteer-based Japanese school, is looking for a few foreigners to participate in their event. Local young Japanese students will be there to teach Japanese and play games together—it’s a great opportunity to practice Japanese in a casual setting. Although this event is supported by Setagaya, all foreign residents in Japan are welcome to join free of charge.
If you’re interested, please email us at info@linkandlearn.jp, and we will forward your contact details to them. (They have a long waiting list, and their email address is currently unavailable to the public.)
