This course provided a chance for advanced learners of the Japanese Language to finally discover what Japanese people really think about various topics. The participants spent some time learning about formal ways of speaking and also worked together in small groups to think of questions to ask the special mystery guests. Questions topics ranged from the position of women in the Japanese workplace to the acceptability of tattoos in public baths! Each group also had the chance to present their findings to their classmates and compare conclusions.

The next Talking Contemporary Japan course will take place in November. Please look out for details in the What’s On section of this website and in JF-News.
