Japanese Students Unite... again!

So it's finally started - Japanese Table.

I missed the first one because it was on a day when I guess a lot of students couldn't make it, myself included.

So I went to the new time chosen - Wednesday at noon (well, actually it was 1:15 for me 'cause I have class)... but it starts at noon.

It was totally not what I expected it to be - a bunch of students studying Japanese at lunch. Quite the contrary, we do anything but study. It's a time for students who are learning the language to bond in an on campus setting. There are a couple of Japanese students studying at UIS, so it's also a chance to meet them and, if desired, ask questions about cultural differences or what have you.

It's a lot of fun. Last Wednesday we played a game of Boggle along with a card game whose name escapes me.

That said, if there are any students out there who are interested in Japan or Japanese but feel 'intimidated' about learning 'such a difficult language' and fear the class - join us on Wednesdays at noon and talk to us about it! We'd be more than happy to meet you and tell you all about it.

Until then...
