I am going to attend the Toastmasters Open House on Nov. 2nd, 2021. This Toastmasters club is for everyone who wants to learn both English and Japanese speech. If you are interested in this club, you are most welcome to attend the open house.

What is NICHIBEI?
NICHI means Japan. BEI means the US. 

The NICHIBEI toastmasters is one of the most unique toastmasters in the world. It was established in NYC for people who would like to develop both their English and Japanese speaking skills.

The NICHIBEI toastmasters club hosts sessions on the first and third Tuesday of every month at 18:30 to 20:30 (EST). The first 60 minute session is an English session and the last 60 minute session is a Japanese session. Although you are a native English speaker, making a speech like Tony Robbins may not be very easy. Learning at Toastmasters, you will be able to be more confident to talk in front of thousands of audiences. 

Toastmasters Japanese sessions for people who are not Japanese may be a bit challenging. If you are at an advanced level of Japanese skill, this is great for you to join.

Toastmasters Japanese sessions are also great for everyone who can speak authentic Japanese. Even so you can learn beautiful Japanese words and phrases there.

If your English is perfect and you can speak like Tony Robbins, you can still attend the speech contests at Toastmasters. Also, you can accumulate leadership skills to assist others. 

I would like to recommend NICHIBEI Toastmasters if you are learning Japanese and you are at an advanced speaking level. If you develop your Japanese speaking level more and more, communicating with Japanese women will become easier and more joyful. If you can make a speech like Tony Robbins, but in Japanese fluently, you will be able to get a job in Japan or do business in Japan easier.

If you think that it sounds interesting, please come and join the NICHIBEI toastmasters open house on Nov. 2nd 2021 at 18:30 to 20:30. The Open House is Free. 

※ Open House is Free.
※ The actual sessions costs $25 initial fee and $70 for 6 months. 

I am going to attend the open house on Nov. 2nd. Let’s enjoy and have fun!
See you there!
