Welcome to English Speaking Club in Osaka (ESCO)!!

This group is for English learners and English speakers who want to practice and improve English in a fun and pleasant way. We will do this by discussing varied topics and issues relevant to us all, from current news, TED talks, and others.

ESCO is a non-profit, volunteer club founded in 2014. Organizers and members organize this meetups for others. There is a small attendance fee for every meeting for room rent; 500 yen given to organizers.

Everyone is welcome, regardless of nationality, gender, age or occupation!

Also, needless to say, native English speakers are most welcome to join our club.

If you are new to OSAKA and looking to make new friends while improving your English, this club is a great place to start. Our membership includes Japanese and international participants.

It is ok to join by yourself. Many people worry about it but you will make new friends easily.

ESCO meets twice-monthly on Saturday nights at 6pm.
