In our Daily Conversation sessions for week #1 of March, we are going to practice expressing yourself comfortably in stressful situations (for example, if you get on the wrong bus and ended up in Saitama instead of Nagano and need to ask for help!), as well as making small talk about where you live (for example, if you live in Wakayama, you could tell new friends that your town has a train station that looks like a cat!)
