Open to all learners of Japanese Language, beginners to advanced and with Japanese Language resources available.

Started in 2014, we have an online presence at Facebook.com/NihongoConnection and a physical presence named "Nihongo Scotland" that currently meets on Fridays from 6-8pm at “Burger” on Shandwick Place in Edinburgh. We ask Native Japanese speakers to teach us and we pay for their drinks as a thank you for speaking to us purely in Japanese. The group is “drop-in” and there are no attendance fees (although we do ask for a small donation from learners towards drinks for our Native Japanese volunteer teachers).

We are a friendly club which uniquely runs events in Japanese for that “total immersion” experience.

We are not a ‘language exchange’ group but if you are looking for somewhere to trade Japanese and English, do drop us a private message and we can point you in the direction of one of the many Edinburgh Language Exchange groups.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
