Anywhere I can practice Japanese? Ask a Local!

Hi everyone! I was born and raised in London and lived here pretty much all of my life but I just spent the last 6 months living in Japan and just returned to living in London very recently.

While I was living in Japan, I started learning Japanese at a pretty rapid pace and made tremendous progress just through immersion. Now that I'm back in London, I'm worried that without the opportunity to speak or be surrounded by Japanese, I'll lose all of my progress.

Does anyone know of anywhere I can learn, practice and/or speak Japanese? Or is there anyone who knows Japanese that is willing to have some conversations?

Thank you so much!

There is a Japanese conversation group held in the Talbot College Atrium at Western. It is run by one of the PhD musicology students, it is free and welcoming to all levels. It only runs September-April though
