日本語でしゃべらナイト
"Shaberanaito" (Japanese speaking night) is back for 2025! Join AJS-NSW and JETAA NSW members and some young people from Japan to speak Japanese while eating delicious Japanese food!
This time we will be joined by eight visiting students from Teikyo Heisei University, based in Nakano Tokyo, and their Professor, so we look forward to engaging with them over dinner.
Thanks to the success of previous Shaberanaito events, we will again hold this event at Izakaya Masuya (Ground Floor, 12-14 O’Connell St, Sydney 2000). This time with another new menu! We will also have the entire restaurant to ourselves (貸し切り).
