We are delighted to share that Yudai Sanada, who works with the SSCA on all aspects of our long-standing relationship with Isesaki, Japan, will teach an eight-week course at Missouri State University on learning Japanese language skills for travel.

The course will run on Tuesday evenings in two-hour blocks from March 25-May 13. The cost is $150. The deadline to register is 11:59 p.m., Monday, March 24. To register, visit: https://fli.missouristate.edu/languages-for-travelers.htm

The intent of the class is to build Japanese language skills for successful experiences for travelers with any language skill and level. It’s a non-credit course that will be taught in a relaxed environment with a wide range of flexibility to meet participants’ needs.

The SSCA will soon be offering informational meetings on this fall’s annual citizens’ trip to Isesaki and other areas of Japan so this is a great way to start preparing if you are interested in a future trip.
