Hachiyama sensei's remarks:

みなさんは、最近「もったいない」ことをしたことがありますか。
自分で注文した料理なのに、どうしても食べきれず、残してしまった・・・。 そんな時、私は「もったいない」と思ってしまいます。
みなさんはどうですか。
また、食べ物だけでなく日常生活の中で見た、あるいは聞いた あなたの「もったいない」話を聞かせてください。

Have you done something wasteful recently ?
For example when I order some food and can't eat it all and end up with left-overs... At that time, I feel it is such a waste."Mottainai!"
How about you ?
Not just with food, but in everyday life, or perhaps a story you've heard, talk in Japanese about your wasteful experiences.

The events are moderated by one of the JOI teachers and are a fun and relaxed way to enjoy learning Japanese online for free with other like-minded Japanese language learners.It's easy to attend one of these events.
