Hanzi/Kanji Writing Practice, Find Your Chinese Name (Beginner Friendly 🙌)
Details
Whether you're deeply connected to Asian culture, curious to learn more, or simply looking to meet new people in London, you are warmly welcome here 🙋 This event is open to everyone, no matter where you're from.
Join us for another fun-filled afternoon and evening of culture, conversation, games, and genuine connection.
From 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, this week's cultural activity is all about Chinese names. We'll explore a handful of interesting Hanzi and Kanji characters, unpack how Chinese names are chosen: the balance of meaning, sound, aesthetics, and cultural philosophy behind them, and then help you find the characters that best fit you. By the end, you'll have a Chinese name to call your own.
From 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM, free-flow conversation and networking. Mingle, share stories, and meet new friends.
From 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, we continue with our casual Board Games Social. Strategy games, party games, or just relaxed chat, all welcome. Bring your favourite snacks to share 🥟🍪 Something from your culture, your hometown, or simply something you love.
