TLC is the main host of San Diego Japanese Speech Contest as part of community service. Volunteers are welcome to help out for this special community event for Japanese language learners in San Diego.

Tachibana Language Center (TLC) supports and hosts the monthly TLC Club to promote friendship, understanding and language exchange among Japanese and English language students who are eager to improve their oral skills in a very friendly, supportive and educational environment. You are invited to join when seats become available. No membership fee required. However, in order to join, you must prepare a speech in Japanese to share for mutual feedback. The speech has to be orginal written by you. Feedback from Tachibana-sensei is available after the meeting upon request. Sometimes a topic will be given. For further information please contact TLC and Club: TachibanaCenter@gmail.com

みんなで助け合って みんなで向上しよう！

If you are interested in joining this group, write to Tachibana-sensei at : tachibanacenter@gmail.com

August and the fall 2010 (tentative):
Tachibana Sensei would like to see all of us serious about "effective oral communication" and she would like to give you a lecture series. She will speak from a book and her experience. Of course you must prepare your talk for sharing as usual. Exchange students, your time with us is truly appreciated. Email
