Bunka Bond Team

When I studied abroad in Japan, I learned that the younger generation of Japanese people are just as curious about America as Americans are about Japanese.

After my year of studying abroad ended and I returned to California, I realized that practicing Japanese is very difficult when no one around me speaks Japanese.

  • For reading, I upkeep my practice by regularly messaging my Japanese friends and host family and reading children’s stories
  • For listening, I watch JLPT N4-N5 conversations on YouTube.

But what about communication? When I’m playing video games, I frequently join Asia servers and play with Japanese players to practice speaking and communicating. But games can only do so much. I realized there isn’t an effective platform for Japanese people and Americans to connect.

With that, I wanted to create a way for Americans and Japanese people to better connect. That’s when my friend and I came up with BunkaBond Education.

Where did the name come from? We wanted a name that would both be easy to pronounce for both English and Japanese speakers, and a name that would convey what the project is about. The name “Bunka” comes from the Japanese word 文化 (Bun-ka) meaning “Culture” and the word “Bond”: a relationship between people or groups based on shared feelings, interests, or experiences.

Our aim is to teach Japanese people natural English phrases that they can use with English speakers and vice versa. We hope to one day have an official platform for Japanese and English speakers to regularly connect to help each other learn to communicate in their desired languages.
