Meet Our Organizer

Ryan is a Canadian who has a strong interest in Japan and Japanese culture.

He speaks Japanese well and has a deep understanding of Japan. With his calm, friendly, and approachable personality, Ryan enjoys meeting and connecting with people from different backgrounds.

He also has experience teaching English to Japanese people, which has given him a strong understanding of some of the challenges Japanese learners may face when communicating in English.

As someone who genuinely enjoys both Japan and cross-cultural communication, Ryan helps create a relaxed and welcoming environment where participants can feel comfortable speaking English or Japanese without worrying about making mistakes.

Whether you want to practice your language skills, ask questions, or simply have a friendly conversation, please feel free to talk with Ryan at our events.
