MLMC families are being asked to host our Japanese Language Assistant, from Term 3 through to April next year. This is a great opportunity for both students and their family to gain a cultural experience in the home.
The 22-year-old woman from Nagoya, Japan, went to New Zealand as a high school student and it was there that she realised that she wanted to learn more about the Japanese language and went on to study Japanese at university. She recently went to Thailand to teach Japanese to foreign students and looks forward to teaching Australians about Japan.
A family will need to provide a room (which can be shared with the same gender), three meals a day and transport to and from school. The duration of the hosting period is negotiable, however it is appreciated if families can host for at least one month.
For details, contact Natasha McKenzie via email to nmckenzie@mlmc.vic.edu.au
