LANGUAGE
TABLE-SERIES
Practice Casual Conversation in Japanese and English
If you want to improve your language skills, join us for the JAASC Language Table series. These quarterly events are hosted at various locations around the Upstate and, occasionally, in Columbia or Charleston.
The series is open to all English and Japanese learners who want an excellent opportunity to practice listening and speaking skills while building relationships in a friendly, bilingual environment. Everyone is welcome, but it is best if you have some basic conversational level of English and Japanese.
If you’re a beginner, scroll down for more information.
If you’re interested in volunteering as an English-Japanese language exchange partner, let us know!
