A big thank you to everyone who visited the Japan Foundation’s stand at the Language Show Live Scotland on March 10^th and 11^th at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC).

The Japan Foundation’s stand gave visitors a chance to experience Japanese language and culture, including having a go at origami and contributing to our research into Japanese language education in the UK by taking part in our survey.

On Saturday, we were very lucky to be joined by Mihoko Pooley, Japanese language teacher at the University of Edinburgh, who held a Japanese Language Taster session. It was one of the most popular language tasters at the show, attended by enthusiastic language learners of all ages who learned some basic Japanese including greetings, self introductions and the writing system.

We would like to thank Pooley-sensei  and all visitors for sharing in our Language Show experience.  Doumo arigatou gozaimashita!

Japan Foundation will also be attending the 2016 Language Show Live in London on October 14^th – 16^th. We hope to see you there!
