ASC and the Japanese language program at Pitt are offering a series of Japanese language tables on campus for students of Japanese language. This session on “practicing speaking with Show & Tell in Japanese” is designed for all level of Japanese language students-- 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year (and beyond). You will be sharing an item you will discuss with the group. In this session:

Please bring an item you would like to discuss. You can bring anything— a photo (digital or print), a memorable item from your childhood, or magazine article you would like to discuss, etc.
You will be divided into small groups. There will be one teacher in each group to facilitate, to help you to speak more natural Japanese and to make corrections.
You will be explaining what the item is, why you care about it, and what means to you. Think about what you can say about the item in Japanese before coming to the Japanese Table, so that you know some appropriate vocabulary to use.
Ask a lot of questions to the presenters and discuss the issues with your teammates.

This is a casual speaking practice session. It will be informal and a small group setting, so you can speak Japanese without getting too nervous. Advanced students will be asked to help the teacher and beginners to communicate. Come and speak Japanese!
