Looking for a Japanese playgroup

Posted by HKJapanese (1278 days ago)

My 3 yr old is half Japanese and half English, and I'm keen for him to be exposed to Japanese more through a playgroup, either informally or at a "school". His Japanese is poor so I'd like him to spend time playing with other Japanese children. Can anyone help? Thanks.

There is a Japanese Kindergarden on Sing Woo Rd in happy Valley. It seems really well run and equipped and is in a very nice building. It is up towards Blue Pool Rd. don't know name or number but will look for you tomorrow when I walk up.

I would like to join the Japanese playgroup too! I studied in Japan for two years and am starting to lose my fluency in the language. Also want my children to pick up this language. HKJapanese, can you count me in if there is a group?

そう言えば、香港にもたくさん日本の方が住んでおられるかと思いますが、このHOME　PAGEはいつも英語だけなのですよね。　　日本語でも偶にいいのではないでしょうか？

Thank you very much for your information. I am working so it is a pity that they only have tue and fri meetings. Do you have their telephone no.?

Dear CD
What is USRC, is booking or membership required? Do you know if there is a website or number to call? Thank you.

Hi, everyone.
I just can't stand to look over your commnents since I'm currently living in Ma On Shan!
I'm a Japanese mom with 2 yrs old girl and married to
Chinese husband. I've been talking to her in Japanese
so far and still looking for some chances to mingle
with other kids in Japanese.
It'd be so nice if you guys let us in on your
meetup plan. Taipo? Very close! :-)))
My email is caty0606@hotmail.com
Thank you!

Thank you, Matilda. I, myself, is living in Tai Po and wld be very difficult for us to join the group at Matilda Hospital. After 1 week's work, it realy needs a lot of energy even just going shopping near by. Well, others might be interested.
