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

Japan Club
**************************************
Our SECOND general membership meeting will be held on Monday, 9/22/2025. We will discuss some of our plans for the school year, and as always, do a cultural activity! At this meeting, we will teach how to fold origami cranes. We are encouraging everyone to fold as many as they can over the next few weeks in an attempt to fold 1000 cranes. Learn about about the story of Sadako after WWII. We plan to donate these cranes to the Children's Hospital. Come join us for the fun.
