My child has made friends who speak Japanese and can now enjoy studying, which was difficult to do at home. Although my child hasn't mastered hiragana yet, he is becoming more familiar with it. It's challenging to attend after school when tired, but it's rewarding because we always have a fulfilling time.

Childbirth Seminar

Everything was informative, but especially the real experiences and the Q&A session where we could ask detailed questions were very helpful. Thank you very much.

Childbirth Seminar

At first, I had no image of childbirth at all, but listening to actual childbirth experiences during the seminar helped me gradually form an image, and it was very educational. Thank you very much.

Childbirth Seminar

It was very reassuring to hear about childbirth in the UK in Japanese and to know that there are many other Japanese expectant mothers. It was also helpful to hear what women expect from their husbands. I am glad I participated in this event. Thank you very much.

Morning Activity

It's great to be able to do various activities in a Japanese environment, learn how to interact with friends, have a weekly routine, expand the community, and consult about parenting concerns. Everything is a plus.

My child doesn't practice writing Japanese at home at all (low motivation at home), so I am very grateful for the learning environment. Because they do it with friends of the same age, my child is motivated, and now, a year after starting ASC, they can read and write hiragana, which they couldn't do at all before. The younger sibling who accompanies us has also started singing the 'aiueo' song and the 'dakuon' song since she was one year old, and now at two years old, she has started practicing writing lines, showing a high learning effect for siblings.

Childbirth Seminar

In the two-hour session, I was able to hear a series of stories from childbirth preparation to actual childbirth and postpartum, making it a very meaningful time. I received practical information on mental and physical preparation before childbirth, so I plan to prepare myself thoroughly before the birth.

Morning Activity

Through activities like reading picture books, seasonal crafts, and singing songs, my children and I naturally had opportunities to engage with the Japanese language and culture. My children sing the 'aiueo' song when they see the hiragana chart and say they learned it at Nakayoshikai.

Creating a community with Japanese people has been a comfort in the lonely overseas life. It's also helpful to easily ask about parenting.

Childbirth Seminar

As this is my first childbirth and it will be in London, I had many anxieties, but listening to the stories from Nakayoshikai members and midwife eased my worries and made me look forward to it! Thank you very much. I will be having lunch next week with someone from the same table!

Childbirth Seminar

Thank you for holding the event! Just being able to gather with other families expecting childbirth in London made me feel like I would be okay. I realized the importance of valuing connections with people to avoid isolation in child-rearing. I was unsure about my birth plan, but I decided to listen to my body and aim for a natural birth.
