Hello
Mina-sama,
I hope you have all
been doing well. I want to get in touch about this year’s Nihongo Philacon
Japanese Language Event, set for Saturday April 25. I apologize that this
communication is coming only one month away from the event date.
Preparations for the first-ever month-long Sakura Matsuri got the best of
me and I am afraid I left this for too long.
However, you should
have received my email earlier in the year letting you know the date, April 25
at 10:00 AM at Villanova, and I hope you all have had it on your calendars.
I will send you
application forms and guidelines before the end of this week. The
application forms are simplified from last year, so it should not take long for
your students to fill them out.
Also, as a reminder
this year’s format will be different, with teams mixed from the participating
schools and more multiple choice questions. These measures are to relax
the level of competition and create a more cooperative atmosphere.
The cultural workshop
this year will be taiko drumming and all the students will have a chance to play
the drums, so that is something exciting for them to look forward
to.
Please remind your
students about the event so they can plant to attend, and look for more
information from me in the next few days. I am confident that we can have
another successful event that will energize your students’ Japanese
study!
よろしくお願いします！
