Open Seattle Japanese Language and Culture Meetup Group
|
We're the area's most active Japanese Meetup, with a lively group of people who speak or are learning Japanese. We have regular, casual meetings to practice Japanese, talk about trips to Japan, and interact with other Japanese speakers. Native speakers are welcomed, intermediate Japanese speakers find a good outlet to use what they know and learn a bit more, and beginners are encouraged to practice and ask lots of questions. Most of the time we simply have casual conversations in Japanese and English. If you're trying to learn something specific, please feel free to bring materials or books that cover your topic and feel free to ask for help. We don't have any formal lesson plans, but many people will be glad to help you out when you bring your own learning materials. Our Thursday night meetups are always in Seattle, but the neighborhood varies. We usually change locations week-to-week, so please sign up to keep informed! We also try to have roughly monthly outings or parties. Send the organizer your ideas. You may recognize a few of us from a weekly Meetup active in Belltown Tuesday nights through 2005. If you're part of that group, please say hello! Jason
