4年生と5年生のプレゼンテーション(12/6 & 12/8)

4年生と5年生の先ぱい(senior student)がプレゼンテーションをします。ぜひ、ききにきて下さいね!!

Date: 12/6 (T) & 12/8 (R)
Time: 11:00 AM - 12:15 PM
Place: DBRT 330

Attendance will be counted towards your grade. Every presentation will be done only in Japanese with PPT with English vocabulary translation.

It should be difficult for you to understand everything now. However, it's a very good chance to see "you" in the near future after you keep studying Japanese. Why don't you come and motivate yourself? :)

えいが(12月6日)

火曜日はムービーナイトです。

Next Tuesday is the last movie night for this semester. We will watch "A Boy and His Samurai (ちょんまげぷりん Chonmage Purin, Chonmage Pudding)." It is about the adventures of a samurai who accidentally travels through time from Edo-era Japan to present-day Japan where he meets a single working mother and her young son. Hope to see you there!
