☝️Event Overview:
[This meetup welcomes intermediate Japanese learners.]
What is art viewing with dialogue in Japanese?
It’s a way to learn by looking at art → thinking → speaking in Japanese → listening to others and re-thinking.
We use artworks as a trigger and enjoy conversation in easy Japanese.

🇯🇵Why is it good for learning Japanese?
• Words come out easily: You can talk about what you see—colors, shapes, people, feelings.
• Conversation skills grow: You practice listening → summarizing → rephrasing.
• Safe to speak: There is no right or wrong about your feelings. You gain confidence.
• Learn culture, too: Compare Japan and your country through the artist, era, and themes.
• Better thinking habits: You learn to speak in the order observation → reason → prediction.

♻️How it works (easy 3 steps)
👀 1 Look : First, look quietly for 30–60 seconds.
🗣️ 2 Say 🗣️ : Start with a short sentence. The feeling of “I see…” is fine.
👂️ 3 Expand: Listen to others and continue: “I see,” “Me too / I’m different…”

💡What effects can you expect?
• You build vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation through natural conversation.
• You can express your feelings in Japanese.
• You learn to enjoy differences by hearing others’ ideas.
• Even in a short time, you feel, “I said it!” — your confidence grows.
