[We've reached capacity] Japanese Language Exchange Volunteer Training Course
The Toyonaka International Association conducts "Japanese Language Exchange Activities." The purpose of these activities is to promote interaction between local foreigners and Japanese people through the Japanese language. Going beyond a fixed relationship of "teaching/being taught" Japanese, the aim is to create relationships where participants get to know each other and learn from each other while using Japanese.
In this course, we would like to learn from various angles about the perspectives that are important when starting activities and the current situation surrounding foreigners.
