Volunteer Japanese Language
Courses in Saitama CityI just got to Japan, and can't
understand the language.

No worries, Saitama City
offers volunteer Japaneselanguage courses.

 It would be great to be able totalk to my neighbors, makefriends, and, if I get sick, be able
to talk to a doctor. You can learn language forthat plus other important thingsin daily life, such as shopping,school work, and doing yourbanking.

There are many volunteer Japanese language classesin Saitama City. Take a look in this pamphlet to find theone nearest to you! Then stop by, improve yourJapanese and get more out of life in Saitama City!
