We are very proud of our Japanese program at school.  Everyone is trying really hard to use Japanese more each day.  The research shows us clearly that when classroom teachers try to incorporate Japanese words in their daily talk, that this makes a tremendous difference in the students learning the language. Research also shows us clearly that when students learn another language that this learning reinforces and strengthens their understanding of their first language. So the students win on both levels. Thanks everyone for your work in this space.

Actually I should say Arigato (Thank you).
