Hi neighbours,


I'm looking for any Japanese speakers in the area who might be interested to start a conversation group type thing. I'm not entirely sure how it would work best, but I'm just keen for some Japanese conversation!


I've been learning Japanese myself on and off since 1994 and lived in Japan for a while in the early 2000s. I'm a bit out of practice at the moment though...


Let me know if you're interested - I don't think it really matters if we're a mix of abilities, so don't let that be a barrier if you're a new learner.

Greeting.

My memory no longer retains enough language to speak to you in a way I would like.

I am interested in any messages that you get as there are not many who can comunicate in Japanese.

Hi


I could scrape a bit of dodgy japanese out but the struggle involved is harsly worth it! I live the idea of a chat-fest and tried to do something similar in a previous workplace. From the thread it seems the difference in levels would cause some real issues, unless you have some ingenius solutions?



Im married to a Japanese lady and we have 2 lovely girls. Oldest -9 - used to be semi-fluent but now answers mum in English 90%; 3 yr old is less affected by English environment and happy to natter away dreamily in Japanese, as well as her own invented words!


Ive tried to have an impact on elder daughter by pushing us all to speak Japanese together, but my own difficulties and older dauguter's made it so unnatural. Guess thats the only way though, including games, stories etc.


Cheers,


M

はじめまして!


私は 日本語 を しゃべることができますが、ぜんぜん つかっていない から だんだん わすれています。。。


I would be up for brushing up on it a bit, though I can't guarantee it will be an English-free conversation...

Did anything come of this? I speak a little bit of Japanese, attempting to teach my half-Japanese daughter and now started taking up classes in central london again. The best way to learn more would really be through taking her to more Japanese playgroups but they do seem to be few and far between (and not on my days off!).

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
