About the event

This workshop is designed for foreigners living in Japan who want to understand Japanese social norms, cultural differences, and communication styles, and learn practical ways to build friendships with Japanese people.
Even if you already understand basic Japanese, you may still face challenges such as:

* Finding opportunities to meet Japanese people.
* Knowing how to turn an acquaintance into a friend.
* Understanding how close Japanese people want to become.
Knowing when and how to switch from polite Japanese (keigo) to casual Japanese (tameguchi*).

In this workshop, we will focus not only on Japanese grammar and useful phrases, but also on Japanese Social Skills — practical communication skills and cultural understanding that can help you build meaningful friendships in Japan.
Through interactive activities, real-life scenarios, role-plays, and group discussions, you will learn how to approach Japanese people, start conversations, understand social cues, and naturally build closer relationships.
The goal is not just to speak Japanese, but to feel more confident connecting with people in Japan!

🌱 Who can join?
Anyone who wants to make friends and connect with people in Japan!
Japanese learners of different levels are welcome, including beginners. You don't need to speak perfect Japanese. You can ask questions, take your time, and use English when necessary.
This is an LGBTQ+ friendly and inclusive space where everyone can feel comfortable being themselves.
📍 Location: Don-yoku, Tokyo
📅 Time: 6:00pm-7:30pm
