Want to practice Japanese with real native speakers? Come join us for Conversation Over Cookies (COC), hosted on the 1st Saturday of every month! Regularly entertaining between 10 and 20 guests, this monthly conversation event allows everyone to practice their language skills, no matter what their skill level. ✋ Each table will have at least one native Japanese speaker, and groups are split into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. 

Bring a dessert or snack to share, and a water bottle to keep your talking muscles hydrated~~ (aka your lips and throat). 

This event is led by dedicated JASSC member and Japanese native, Ayumi Peek. Ayumi was born and raised in Tokyo. She has been a frequent attendee of this event as a native speaker since she moved to Colorado Springs in 2023, and recently volunteered to host. Ayumi loves to share her culture and meet people who are interested in Japan. If your hobbies include hiking, reading thrillers, or baking, she will be extra excited to chat. Come join us!
