Q1 | What should I bring my belongings on the first join ? |
A1 | Since there is no special necessity at the time of the initial participation, please bring something to use by yourself, such as writing instruments, dictionaries. (You will get a copy of the teaching material text, which you can show to members when you first join.) |
Q2 | I do not know whether I can participate every week, but is it OK ? |
A2 | It is OK. Circles themselves are basically held every week, but there are people who are involved almost every time, others are irregular. Depending on your circumstances, it is OK to choose whether to participate in each week. |
Q3 | Is participation with tour only OK? |
A3 | We are sorry, we can not accept participation of tour only. Even if you say "I want to see the atmosphere of a circle for a while", please note that it will take a part of a 2 hour English conversation in one of the groups. |
Q4 | Where should I go to the venue? |
A4 | Please check at the "activity schedule (venue)" in the lower menu of this page for each venue. In our circle, all the participants gather in a single venue, divided into groups and conduct English conversation. |
Q5 | Does BBI have a foreign teacher of a native English speaker ? |
A5 | In our circle, there is basically no native person who teaches English as a teacher. |
Q6 | Is it okay if I take my family and friends ? |
A6 | Although it is OK, since there is convenience for the venue size, We would be pleased if you can contact us in advance if you are with other people as to how many people will be taken. |
Q7 | Please tell us the number of BBI participants, age groups, and male-female ratio. |
A7 | There is no accurate data, but as for the circle as a whole, the average number of participants is about 40 people each time, the age group is 30 to 50 generations, the impression that the ratio of men and women is about 6: 4. (It also depends on the situation and group of participants in each week) |
Q8 | What kind of organizations are managed by BBI venue reservations and various events ? |
A8 | BBI has established a management organization (name: "Committee Meeting", commonly known as "Komi-kai") composed of leaders of each group, secretaries and staff of various events, venue reservation, accounting personnel and so on. Normally, we hold a meeting once every two months and discuss and decide matters concerning the operation of BBI. Things that have been decided are communicated to everyone through group leaders. From time to time, BBI invites participants to participate actively in the "Komi-kai". |
