Meet Osaka locals and Japanese speaking experience at Cafe Umeda
you can meet 4 to 5 different people each time you change seats, including local Japanese people and foreigners living in Japan. Get local information from all over Japan to make your trip more enjoyable and smooth. You can also make local Japanese friends and exchange contact information at events. A language exchange event will be an unforgettable experience during your trip to Japan.
The participating members are very friendly Japanese locals. For this reason, many event participants form groups with like-minded members and sometimes spontaneously go out for drinks after the event.
There is no need to think about mastering Japanese through the event. It would be great if you could learn some useful Japanese phrases and try using them with Japanese people during your travels. Or you can use it as an opportunity to output the Japanese you have learned.
I'm looking forward to seeing you.
