Agenda:
- usually we wait 10-15 minutes until most registered people have showed up then split up into groups of 4-5 people

- introductions/what I learned this week: each person can share anything interesting they’ve learned recently or if not actively studying anything interesting can be shared

- Japanese only conversation time (if there are any absolute beginners that feel like they can’t participate we will accommodate)

- informal conversation time (can be English or Japanese)

時間割：
ー「今週の学び」
それぞれの人が最近習った、興味を引きそうなことをみんなに紹介する。言葉、言い回し、文化的なことでも何でもOK。とくに勉強していない場合は、おもしろそうなことを話せばいいよ。

ー「日本語だけで会話タイム」
英語NO！ぜったい！全くの初心者で会話に参加できない人がいれば、初心者コーナーを作ります。

ー「おきらく雑談タイム」
日本語でも英語でもいいよ。話そう！

The Free-Style Japanese Club, started August 2017, is for adult learners of all level and natives. This is a group for experiencing talking to natives or swimming in-between cultures. We highly value your initiative. This is more a place for practicing Japanese conversation rather than listening to a teacher. You would also get input on how to learn Japanese from members. They are abundant in the knowledge! To maximize your experience, it's a good idea to bring your own material, and ask all the questions you have whether it's grammatical or cultural.

Any ideas for the group to try out are welcome!

Note:

1. Please do register your attendance via this site.

登録してね！！

We are mainly adults' conversation/ learning group. If non-native children around teenager and up are eager to learn on their own initiative, we'll consider on a case-by-case basis.

We don't tolerate harassment to members.
