I hope you guys are having a great weekend where ever you are

and I'm currently in front of this building

and you might be wondering, "what are you doing there?"

Today I will be visiting the free Japanese classes offered by the city ward

Of course there are lots of ways you can study Japanese

However, I think this is a great way to study and also interact with the locals and your community

It's been so long since I've actually studied Japanese

There are many different classes offered depending on your level

This one I went to is for a more intermediate to advance learners

Check out your local wards Japanese classes on their home page

and you can also see the other events going on in the community

Japanese locals volunteer to help and teach foreigners here

and it's a great way to build the community between foreigners and Japanese

and to also understand and learn each other's cultures more

This one is the easier version for Japanese learners to read

the one for Japanese learners has hiragana on top of the Kanji

and this is the original news that Japanese read

Apart from the Japanese classes, the local ward also holds international events

and sometimes after the classes you can go on outings with the other members

Hey guys, I just wanted to pop on in and say a few things before I wrap up the video

So a lot of people think that if you just come and live in Japan

that your Japanese will also just naturally become fluent

it takes effort and it takes time for you to improve your Japanese

they tend to stick with people that they feel comfortable around

so, people with similar backgrounds, people with similar languages

and that kind of defeats your purpose if you want to learn Japanese

because you surround yourself with this environment that you're already use to back at home

So what I encourage you guys to do if you want to improve your Japanese is

and really interact with the locals, surround yourself with more Japanese people

because then you can improve your Japanese, right?

So, this is why I really like this idea of the free Japanese classes by the local wards

I think Japanese are trying to open up more

and I think it's really nice they're trying to build this community between foreigners and Japanese

but you can also interact with the locals

you can learn about their culture - the Japanese culture

and also I think at the end of the day, language it's not about just the language

but it's about the much more deeper meaning behind that

so I really encourage you guys to interact more with the locals, especially if you guys are coming to Japan

because you will know more things happening around your neighbourhood

and it's always a good thing, to know your neighbours and your local stuff

So, I hope you guys could take something away from this video
