The Japan Foundation London will be waving a tearful goodbye to our Assistant Japanese Language Advisor, Mio Tsunematsu, when she returns to Japan on July 5^th after working with us for two years.

During her time at Japan Foundation London, Tsunematsu-sensei has had great success running a number of courses and workshops, including Japanese Plus, Japanese from Scratch and Japanese for Juniors, in addition to assisting with countless other events and projects related to Japanese language education.

Here is a message from Tsunematsu-sensei to all of her friends and colleagues that she has got to know through Japan Foundation.

「2014年7月より2年間、たくさんの学習者、先生方にお会いできとても楽しかったです。講座に参加してくださった皆様、本当にありがとうございました。研修や教師会でお世話になった先生方、本当にありがとうございました。」

“I’ve really enjoyed meeting so many different learners and teachers across the two years since July 2014. Thank you so much to everyone who has taken part in our courses, and to all the teachers who have helped me at seminars and workshops.”

We all wish Tsunematsu-sensei the very best of luck with her future path and hope that she leaves with good memories of London.

Tsunematsu-sensei will be succeeded by Kanako Ukai, who will arrive in London on July 7^th. We all look forward to welcoming her.
