Toastmasters Events Common Group

Want to start learning public speaking?

If you want to improve your communication skills, such as public speaking, Toastmasters can provide a fun and good environment to practice your speech/presentation in front of club members in both English and Japanese.

And each speaker can receive feedback from the members.
Through the feedback, you can also improve your communication skills.
This is also a benefit of attending Toastmasters clubs.
