What we’re about
English / Japanese language exchange community. Helping people study English and Japanese in Vancouver and abroad.
For the language exchange, you must be a native speaker of either English or Japanese to attend. It is a casual place to practice and improve your spoken language as well as make friends at the same time. *this is not a place to meet a partner*
English speaking & pronunciation classes available for any ESL learners. The classes are run by a professional English coach and the owner of MakeMeNative: Canada Sensei.
Private or Group English coaching also available from our website at www.canadasensei.com

Presenting: 【 EIWAKAI 】
This is a play on words meaning an "English" and "Japanese" meeting.
Eiwakai is a casual get together to help each other learn English and Japanese. We will have an optional topic and also activity for anyone who wants to be a little more serious about studying.
If you have any questions you would like to ask about English or Japanese, please bring them along and someone will be able to help you.
Please feel free to invite your friends!
*if you are not a native english speaker, you should feel confident in being able to explain about idioms, slang, etc. You should be close to a native level.
