JETAADC is sponsoring an event hosted by Conversational DC for a fun event to practice your Japanese!
We will be donating a limited number of drink tickets to the first attendees that arrive, so first come, first serve. It’s simple: have some drinks, speak in Japanese, and have fun. No English allowed. Bringing a buddy is encouraged! This event is free, but we ask that you reserve your spot through the Eventbrite: https://
The event is upstairs. Around the room will be facilitators and listeners with stickers. Facilitators are fluent and/or native speakers that are there to keep the conversation going. Listeners are language-lovers that are just there to observe and absorb.
If you’re a native or fluent speaker that would like to help facilitate, send an email to conversationalDC@gmail.com
FAQs:
1) What if I’m too scared to speak?
Totally understand. It’s nerve-wracking to put yourself out there and make mistakes. Fortunately, you’ll be surrounded by people making mistakes. To make it easier, bring a buddy. We will also have listener stickers for those who just want to absorb.
2) Do I have enough language experience to do this?
People who have zero language experience are still welcome to come. Maybe you’ll pick up a word or two.
3) Is the event free?
YES! But drinks are not. Happy hour lasts until 7.
4) Are drinks free?
No. Tip your bartender!
5) How do I know there will be good speakers there?
We make sure there are fluent speakers at each event. We encourage guests to buy facilitators a drink as a thank you. Contact Lauren at conversationaldc@gmail.com
6) Will there be future events in other languages?
Yes! If you have a specific interest, email Lauren at conversationaldc@gmail.com
