This time we talked about New Year traditions in Russia and Japan! I talked about the difference between New Year (Новый год) and Christmas (Рождество) in Russia, how Russians celebrate them, who Ded Moroz is, and which dishes are commonly served on the table. Participants also shared what they are going to do during the holidays and talked about Japanese New Year food O-sechi (おせち).  Interesting fact: both Japanese and Russians love to eat mandarins at this time of year!

I think we learned a lot from each other and had a great time talking about holidays and celebrations.
Thank you all for your active participation!

Hope everyone enjoys the New Year holidays!
Счастливого Нового года!🎄✨

There were seven participants last time. We practiced talking about our past. We discussed which clubs we participated in middle and high school, what we did yesterday and what we had for breakfast by using past forms. Now we can talk about past events in Russian! I think it was a little difficult but very useful topic. I’m glad to see everyone’s Russian improving week by week.

See you soon!
До встречи!

We had three participants this time. We played a supermarket role-play game where we divided into three roles: a cashier, a customer and a person who asked the customer to buy products from a shopping list. We learned the names of many products, especially vegetables, fruits and meat in Russian. I think it was a good and fun practice!

Thank you!
Спасибо!~

Getting colder, this time there were 4 participants. We learned how to talk about our favorite things such as seasons and food, practiced naming colors in Russian and talked about different tastes («острое» = spicy, «сладкое» = sweet, «кислое» = sour, «солёное» = salty, «горькое» = bitter).
We had a lot of fun and everyone is making good progress in Russian. Keep it up!

Hope to see you next week!

До следующей недели!~

11月26日（水）のロシア語会話クラブは、OAの体調不良のため不開催とさせていただきます。

Last time, seven Russian language learners gathered. We learned how to talk about our family members and the pets we have. We also practiced new constructions such as «У меня есть…» (= I have…) and «У меня нет…» (= I don’t have…) in conversation.
We had a great discussion and learned a lot!

Hope to see you all next Wednesday!
До встречи! ~

We have 8 participants this time. We learned a new grammatical form to express our feelings or states. For instance, «мне холодно» (= I am cold), «тебе смешно» (=You are laughing) and so on. Then, we practiced asking each other how we are feeling at the moment.

Also, we learned the verb ‘уметь’ to express our ability and skill in doing something. For example, ‘Я умею говорить по-русски’ (= I can speak Russian).

Thank you all for your participation!

The Russian Conversation Club last time gathered six participants together.
We learned numbers and practiced using them in conversation. Especially, we worked on talking about future events and plans at specific times (for example: “Завтра вечеринка в шесть часов” = “There’s a party tomorrow at six o’clock”).
It wasn’t the easiest topic, but everyone did very well!

Let’s meet up next week!
До встречи! 

Right before Halloween, 8 participants gathered together!
I introduced some creepy creatures from Russian folklore, such as Baba Yaga, Koshchei, and Zmei Gorynich. We also practiced talking about ourselves and discussed some common mistakes in Russian.

Great job, everyone!
До встречи! 🎃

This time seven participants gathered. Our main topic was food and cooking. We talked about some Russian dishes, learned the names of ingredients, and practiced how to express our preferences and wishes.
This session was productive and full of lively conversation!
See you next week! ~
