 Kamome Class

  

 Introduction

     

Recently, there have been an increased number of children who came to Japan from foreign countries, and children who were born in Japan to their immigrant parents. In many cases, they have difficulties in getting used to their school environment because of the differences in language and culture.
Kanazawa International Lounge offers Japanese classes and supports these children. It is subcontracted from Kanazawa-ku to support children to learn Japanese as their second language.
