And in another announcement…

Every first and third Thursday of the month, there is a “Japanese Chat Salon” being held. It’s a place where foreigners studying Japanese in Fukuoka and local Japanese volunteers can get together in a relaxed atmosphere and talk. The next session will be held on November 21st.

The Salon is held at the large conference room of the Fukuoka International Association, located on the 5th floor of the Fukuoka City Hall North Annex. Sessions start at 1:30 PM and run through 5 PM. Participants are free to come and go as they please during the session, and participation is free! So, if you’d like to practice Japanese you’ve studied, or just meet and chat with a native Japanese person, come check it out. Everyone is waiting for you!
