The Houston Japanese Language Meetup Group

The Houston Japanese group serves three functions: a chance to speak Japanese, an opportunity to teach Japanese, and a chance to simply socialize in Japanese among people who speak Japanese and have a deep interest in the language. Be sure to read the "About Us" link before joining. This group is highly focused on actually speaking Japanese (intermediate-advanc ed college level, or 1 year+ college level).
