overview

We have received requests from our residents in the past through questionnaires, such as "I would like to participate in social events if there are any" and "I would like an opportunity to talk with residents from various cultural backgrounds," so we will be holding a Language Cafe !

Event Details

This event is an online Language Cafe where participants can enjoy conversations and activities in small groups led by a facilitator, using both English and Japanese, based on themes appropriate for each level.
Groups are divided into "beginner" and "intermediate" levels, so you can participate at the level that suits you best.

In the beginner group , we will do some simple self-introductions and activities!

A facilitator will guide the conversation, so even those who are not confident in their English can participate with confidence.

In the intermediate group , you will enjoy more free-flowing conversations on topics such as hobbies, culture, and travel!

You don't have to speak entirely in English; we'll provide conversation tips and keywords, so anyone can feel free to join in.

*Please note that this event is not intended as an English lesson, but rather as an opportunity for participants to enjoy communication and international exchange through English with the participation of a facilitator.
