Join us at Japan Society for a talk & tasting of the unique Japanese spirit shochu on Tuesday, November 14^th at Shochu: Japan’s Best Kept Secret.

Unlike sake, which is brewed, shochu is distilled and can be made from a variety of ingredients including barley, rice, and sweet potatoes. With such a wide range of tastes, there’s a shochu for everyone. Don’t know what kind you like? Shochu sommelier Stephen Lyman will give tips on what to try based on your preferences in other liquors like whiskey or rum, and reveal shochu’sfascinating history on the island of Kyushu. At the tasting reception, sample twenty different shochu varieties with some light snacks, and discover which is perfect for you!

Greetings:

I am emailing from Ibaraki Christian University in Hitachi, Japan to ask for your assistance in informing interested students of our unpaid internship program. The program is now in its fifth year, and we have welcomed interns from all over North America and from Europe. With the experience gained through the internship, many of our former interns who applied to the JET Program have been accepted. We will be welcoming our first intern from Australia in December and are also hoping to welcome future interns from colleges and universities in Ireland and New Zealand. The following is the basic information that we post with career centers, internship offices and international offices:

We are looking for students who are interested in doing an unpaid international internship related to teaching. Specifically, we are looking for interns to help undergraduate English majors in Japan improve their English. Interns will work with students in and outside of the classroom to help them academically and provide opportunities to practice English communication. Interns will also plan and create opportunities for students to use their English in nonacademic settings such as playing games, sports and other extracurricular activities.

Those interested in our program can visit http://www.gendaieigo.info/internship for more information including testimonials from past participants. Please note that the position is ongoing. We welcome all students at American, Australian, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand and United Kingdom colleges and universities irrespective of religious faith, culture and nationality.

While applications are welcome at all times, we are especially interested in applicants who would like to intern during our spring semester, between the months of April and July, and our fall semester, which starts in late September and runs until the end of January. Interns are also welcome for a full academic year. Dates for internships are flexible and can be arranged depending on individual schedules.

We would appreciate it if you could inform any students who might be interested. If there is a specific person I should contact to have this emailed to interested students at your school, please contact me directly to avoid overloading anyone with multiple email messages. Thank you for your understanding and help. If there is any more information that I can provide for you, please feel free to contact me at anytime.

Lastly, I am attaching a flyer on our program. If it is possible to post or distribute the attachment to students who may be interested, we would appreciate it.

We look forward to hearing from you and your students.

Join Japanese-language students and native Japanese speakers at this informal gathering to practice Japanese and English! Anyone with some Japanese language experience is welcome to attend.

For 30 minutes during our September 6^th meeting, special guest Fumiko Takada will perform Kyudo (traditional Japanese archery). Fumiko will demonstrate how to shoot in short distances, and explain the basics of the Kyudo. After the demonstration, we will move back to the usual activity of practicing conversational skills.

RSVP required to language@japansociety.org or 212-715-1269 with the following information: name, email address, telephone number, level of Japanese (beginner, intermediate, advanced, native)

Admission (refreshments provided)

$5 (cash only), free for students with valid university I.D.

Greetings Baruch Students,

I’m writing on behalf of GKIDS, an independent film distributor focused solely on animation, including 9 Academy Award-nominated films and the entire Studio Ghibli library.

GKIDS’ newest film, Napping Princess is a thrilling sci-fi fantasy adventure, opening at the Village East Cinema on 9/08/17 playing both in dubbed English and the original Japanese with English subtitles. This exciting new film effortlessly blends reality and a magical world with the use of visually striking animation and outstanding action sequences. It’s the latest film from Kenji Kamiyama, director of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and East of the Eden. More information can be found below and on our website.

We wanted to bring this film to your attention as we thought it would be of interest to your students. We would love to work together and can offer a variety of opportunities for you including group sales and movie postcards.
