Not sure whether to study Japanese or another language? Having difficulty convincing your parents why you should study Japanese? Consider reading this presentation: "Why study Japanese?" (A special thanks to Ambassador John R. Malott for use of this presentation he made to the delegation of Japanese teachers at the 2014 National Japan Bowl!)
Here is Sensei's Story - An Interview that was part of the Summer 2020 "Sensei! Why Japanese?" Project by the Japan Foundation Los Angeles

ANNOUNCEMENTS & NEWS
2022-2023 KAC Global Classmates Program
Deerfield Beach High Level 2, 3 and 4 students have participated in this year's Kizuna Across Cultures' 2022-2023 Global Classmates Program. We are the only school in the state of Florida participating in this program this year. Students communicated via an online Canvas exchange with students at our partner school in Japan, Kani High School in Gifu Prefecture.
We discussed numerous topics and found that we have many interests in common. We also exchanged an "omiyage" package, souvenirs from our respective hometowns. The students had a lot of fun with this project, and we shared our reaction video with our classmates on the Canvas LMS. It was exciting to learn more about our friends from across the Pacific!
