Facilitators Nichole Mayfield and Darlene Onuorah will lead our final Japanese Language Group session of the year, themed as a Bonenkai (忘年会)!

Literally a “forget the year” party, the Bonenkai is the traditional end-of-year gathering held by workplaces and interest groups across Japan. It’s a chance to leave the year’s stresses behind, celebrate together, and welcome what’s ahead.

Join us in that spirit as we ring out 2026 with conversation in Japanese. Grab your favorite snacks and drinks, settle in, and come ready to chat, laugh, and pick up some festive vocabulary along the way.

All proficiency levels are welcome, and everyone is encouraged to participate and have fun!
