About us
Motomachi English Circle is a small discussion group for people who want to use English to exchange ideas, perspectives, and experiences — entirely in English.
Discussions are high-level, collaborative, and guided by David Nagai.
We explore ideas, culture, creativity, and different ways of seeing the world.
This is a relaxed, respectful space where curiosity matters more than “correct” English.
This group is for you if you want to:
- Connect with global-minded people in Yokohama
- Explore diverse perspectives and ideas
- Express your opinions and questions in English
Typical events:
- Coffee hangouts in English
- Topic-based discussions
- Presentations with Q&A and open discussion
Events are held in Yokohama–Motomachi.
