Dear new first-year students and returning students,<\/p>\n

Welcome to the Hirosaki University English Lounge homepage. Please feel free to explore the website, read the blog, and learn about what we have to offer.<\/p>\n

The English Lounge is a “self-access learning center” (SALC), where students can come to study English, take free classes, meet international students, or just hang out. Becoming an “autonomous learner” (\u81ea\u5f8b\u7684\u5b66\u7fd2\u8005) is very important for college students, and we are here to help. Stop by any time during our opening hours, 10:30 – 17:00 every weekday, to meet a teacher, ask questions, or just to find out what the English Lounge is all about. We have a variety of books to borrow (check out<\/a> our book introductions), movies to watch, small-scale seminars to join, and more.<\/p>\n

The keyword of the English Lounge is “freedom.” No homework, no registration, no grades: you are free to come and learn freely here!<\/p>\n
