    We have an increasing number of inquiries from those who are interested in communication with foreigners or who have just returned to Japan after studying abroad, or who are studying English and looking for chances to use the skill. 

The activities are done by the members purely on voluntary basis, so you just find an opportunity  that well suit your conditions like language level, time zone available, etc.
