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

For 30 minutes during our May 8^th meeting, special guest Souheki Mori will demonstrate how to properly wear a casual cotton kimono (Yukata). Yukatas are often worn in onsen towns and is the typical dress code for guests at a ryokan. Yukata has also become a way of dressing for summer festivals. 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.
