Activities - English Conversation Classes

Volunteer Co-Directors provide native English speaking guided conversation classes six times each week. Several levels of comprehension, experience and topics are provided during the two hour sessions held Tuesday through Friday mornings and on Tuesday evenings. Conversation classes may be guided by a book, articles, current events, peace and other cultural and daily living topics. Classes emphasis individual participation in a relaxed setting and include tea and snack refreshments. The suggested class donation is 2,000 JPN per session or 6,000 JPN per month. Some students have frequented the center and attended classes for 5, 10 or even more years.
Classes also participate in group assignments ranging from eating out at a local restaurant or touring a local business or scenic sight, to the preparation of Peace Lanterns or Peace Candles to honor traditions of Hiroshima.
