2. Japanese
Conversation Salon
The purpose of the Japanese Conversation Salon is to help foreigners improve
their Japanese speaking skills and exchange information about cultures
with Japanese people.
MIFA is very proud that many participants are satisfied with this salon-style
class, telling us they have learnt useful communication skills for everyday
life. Up until now people from twenty-two countries have taken part.
When people join, MIFA will introduce each of them to a Japanese volunteer
as their person-to-person conversation partner so that they can learn and improve their speaking
skills by talking with the volunteers about any topic that they like.

*Japanese Conversation Salon
I am studying Japanese because it is essential for me in order to live
in Japan. I would be happy if I could find a job that would require a Japanese
language ability when I return to China. This conversation class is fulfilling
because we can talk and study Japanese one on one. We can study according
to our conversation ability. Besides I can ask my conversation partner
whenever I come across things that I cannot understand. My partner answeres
my questions right away. The teachers are kind and the lessons are well
done. |
