The Activities of the Japan Foundation

Language: Japanese-Language Education Overseas

Teaching the Japanese language to people outside Japan helps to increase their interest in and understanding of Japan. We work to enhance Japanese-language learning environments around the world to provide more people with opportunities to study Japanese.
