Academic Program for Children
Sakura Gakuen Japanese Language School provides a variety of classes for kindergarten through high school students who have little or no prior knowledge of the Japanese language. The Sakura Gakuen faculty is composed of native speakers educated in Japan who specialize in teaching Japanese as a second language. Academic emphasis is on sentence structure, allowing

the students to easily construct a large variety of useful phrases and expressions. Unlike other conversational Japanese classes, Japanese alphabets (Hiragana and Katakana) and Kanji will be taught to the students. Students will be instructed how to speak Japanese as well as how to read and write it! The practical age appropriate lessons build a solid foundation in Japanese that has served many Sakura Gakuen alumni with continued language studies. Elements of Japanese culture and games will also be introduced to help students gain a better understanding of the language and customs and have fun while learning. Typical class sizes range from 8 to 15 students. Adult School
Sakura Gakuen Adult School offers classes weekly on Monday evenings. Classes are designed for busy people with a desire to learn Japanese. The instructors are native speakers. Small classes provide individual attention. There is no mandatory homework. Conversational Japanese classes without learning kana or kanji are offered. A quick course for travelers is available if damand warrants. Separate reading and writing classes are also offered. The school offers a Proficiency Exam preparation course that is great for high school or college students or adults who have studied Japanese and want to prepare for an exam such as the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test). The exam preparation class focuses on listening and reading comprehension and will have homework. A refresher conversation class is available for people who have learned Japanese at high school, college, or in Japan. Solid knowledge of Japanese is required. The emphasis of this class is on age, gender, and situation appropriate languages for effective communications.

It’s March 3 — Girl’s Day. Are you celebrating?

The Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum celebrated Hinamatsuri (Girls’ Day) on March 3 with a creative cultural display. Figures of Fukuiraptor and Fukuisaurus were dressed in elaborate kimono to resemble traditional hina dolls, combining Japanese seasonal tradition with Fukui’s identity as a dinosaur research hub.

Our Youth Sensei and volunteers will be doing mochitsuki as part of our Oshogatsu ceremony on January 4. Sakura Gakuen includes cultural events as well as language classes as part of our 17-week terms.

Families and friends are welcome to join us.

Mochi, a doughy cake made from steamed sweet rice, is more than just a nostalgic taste of Japan; the very act of making mochi – a "mochitsuki" – takes on special significance on New Year's Day. Correspondent Conor Knighton reports.
