On the morning of June 20, 2017, the launch event of the Japanese Club with many exciting activities was successfully held at the GMO-Z.com RUNSYSTEM headquarters in Hanoi. The gathering attracted more than 30 Runners – the GEN 1 members (the first generation) of the Club – who share a common passion for the unique culture of the Land of the Rising Sun.
The event was attended by Mr. Nguyễn Tấn Minh – Deputy Director of the company, Mr. Masahiro Sakiyama – Executive Director of Neos, along with 30 Vietnamese members and 5 Japanese friends.
In her opening speech, Ms. Đoàn Thị Thanh Tâm (Head of Training Center) emphasized the Club’s activity direction: “Not limited to extracurricular sessions, the Club will organize exchanges, consultations, and Japanese learning experience sharing with experts. With the unique Kaiwa and Sakubun methods, combined with multiple skills such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, and perception, the Club promises to bring many exciting surprises for members. In addition, members will also have the opportunity to practice writing, post articles on the Club’s fanpage, and receive royalties from the company just like real ‘editors’.”
During the launch, through fun self-introductions in Japanese, members had the chance to learn more about each other, gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture, and boost their confidence when communicating with Japanese people.
The gathering ended with smiles remaining on the members’ faces. Everyone was excitedly looking forward to the upcoming activities of the Club – a place where people with the same passion come together.
