Surprise! First meeting of December is actually next week so we can get back on the schedule of 1st and 3rd Tuesdays. How is everyone handling the "cold" weather? It's still relatively warm compared to other places, but I've been so cold at night these days! I feel like it's truly winter now. Good thing the venue now has hot drinks! Please join the SGV JEX (Japanese-English Exchange) for another fun and interesting meeting full of good conversation!

(FYI-Venue subject to change to Yogurtland across the street if Boba Box is too busy! Please check this page leading up to the event.)

We will be alternating in \~15 minute increments (+breaks) between the whole group speaking Japanese or English. All levels are welcome! 15分（＋休憩）ごとに、グループ全員が日本語か英語を交互に話します。レベルは問いません！

Name cards will be provided with a place to indicate your CEFR conversation level (see group description). 名札が用意にします。

Beginners should try to keep up with the system as best as possible; they can also request to be paired with other beginners and/or provided more guidance if attendance allows. 初心者は、できる限りシステムについていけるように頑張ってください。できれば他の初心者と話相手になれます。

Topics may be provided and/or guided conversations (e.g. questions, group surveys, playing group games and splicing in JP/EN) may occur to make best use of practice time. 必要があったら話題が用意して、もうちょっと会話を誘導します。

BTW-It's ok to feel out of your comfort zone and doubly so if you don't know anyone (yet)! X'D まだ知らない人と会話するのは非常に難しいので、緊張と違和感も当然な感情だと思います。

P.S. This venue only offers limited food items (bubble waffles and chips), so they DO allow outside food within reason. この会場では、2つの食べ物（バブルワッフルとポテチ）だけのメニューがありますので、食べ物の持ち込みは可能です。
