Reviews of the previous symposium

This seminar on Folklore and Festivals was very fun and informative. The tutors were very fun and explained the concepts very well. They are great for conversational topics. I highly recommend them.

アイルランドの楽器、祭り、マッチメーカー(!)など話が盛りだくさんで楽しかったです。結構、癖が強い英語だと認識していましたが、講師のお二人の英語は聞きやすかったです。
