English, Japanese, and Takoyaki Meetup
★Osaka's largest English study club has arrived in Silicon Valley!★
What is One Coin English?
Started in Osaka in 2014, One Coin English is western Japan’s largest English-learning meetup.
Approximately 300 members attend each month to study and practice English at our locations throughout the Kansai region: Osaka (Shinsaibashi, Umeda, and Tennoji), Kyoto, Kobe, Nara, and Wakayama.
Beginning in 2015, we opened our doors to international travelers, giving them an place to speak to locals while also providing our members with a valuable opportunity to converse in English with native and other non-native speakers.
Now, in 2016, we are partnering with the San Jose Learning Center and Mirai Gakuen in California to establish our presence in Silicon Valley!
