Learning Nihongo in a fun way

A Nihongo Partner facilitates a class with a map showing Japan and the flag in the background.

STUDENTS in premier government schools are given a choice to learn Japanese, which is one of the foreign languages offered to them other than French, German, Chinese or Arabic.

The learning of Japanese, also known as Nihongo, was given a huge boost after Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad became prime minister in July 1981.
