We're
More Than Just Anime!
Meetings for this semester are officially over. So far
we've learned some vocabulary and have talked about the uses of the
different written languages. We will soon be past the basics, so if
you're interested, you'd better hurry! In the future we hope to have
Japanese students as guests who can answer some questions, do demonstrations,
and maybe even cook for us! If you want more information, e-mail the
web coordinator.
