This summer, the Japan Foundation, Toronto is thrilled to once again offer a mini-course for anyone who wants to take Japanese for a test-run: Marugoto Summer Sampler! Over three classes (July 26th, August 2nd, & August 9th) students will gain the knowledge and skills to start talking about themselves and their world in Japanese.
For the 27th event of the series, to be held on Saturday, July 21st, we will introduce initiatives in “Japanese as a heritage language education” in various places in Ontario.
