Japanese
Living the language for over 50 years!
WE BRING THE WORLD TO YOU
Village LocationThe Japanese Language Village is located near Dent, Minnesota on a small, quiet lake surrounded by trees. It won't be long before you forget where you are and start thinking like you're in Japan.
Every day is like a new adventure abroad
Participants become "villagers" and live in the language and culture from the moment they wake up to the close of the day.
Hello!At Mori no Ike you'll live in the language and cultures
of the Japanese-speaking world for your entire camp stay. From the time your eyes
open in the morning until they close on your pillow that night you'll
build an impressive foundation of Japanese skills and cultural knowledge by participating in small language learning groups, joining in cultural and camp activities, playing games and
sports, dancing, singing, cooking — and most of all having fun.
Konnichiwa!
Why Learn Japanese?Japanese is the official language of Japan, a world
economic power with exports ranging from comic books to automobiles. With over
127 million speakers worldwide it is not only spoken in Japan but also areas of Brazil, Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines, and the United States.
