Do you want to meet people who have fascinating backgrounds and speak with them in Japanese? Then this is your group! Houston Japanese MeetUp is highly focused on creating a fun environment for actually hearing and speaking Japanese (advanced-beginner through advanced level).
Japanese is a difficult language to learn and also a difficult language to retain in the USA. To retain the language, you need to use it and continue to learn. That is what Houston Japanese MeetUp is mainly for - a chance to speak Japanese and learn more about Japanese in a fun environment. Houston Japanese MeetUp also acts as a gateway for members to the wider Japanese-speaking community of Houston, so some of our events are held jointly with the Japanese Association of Greater Houston, Japan Business Association of Houston, etc.
This group is also by far the best opportunity in Houston for native speakers of Japanese to share the Japanese language with non-Japanese who are actually learning and speaking Japanese, in contrast to other groups who typical have 95%+ begging-level quitters (Mikkabozu Darake).
Our next MeetupJapanese Conversation on Tuesday (Nov. 10th) at La Madeleine
The next meeting of the Houston Japanese MeetUp group, organized by the Meetup WWW site, will be on Tuesday, November 10th at 7 pm. This is a great chance for students and anyone interesting in the Japanese language to speak Japanese and socialize in a casual setting. Read more
