Japanese or Asian Language Groups Around Brattleboro?

by BusyMom | Questions & Answers | 1489 Views

Are there any groups in this area who get together to talk in Japanese?  I know there’s a Spanish group, so it occurred to me there might be an Asian group of some sort.  On behalf of a college-age relative who is extremely into Japanese (incuding anime, manga, foods), so I’m looking for possible social outlets.

    SIT?

    Have you tried contacting SIT? I have no idea what they open to the community, but it might be worth inquiring of them.
