Students had the opportunity to talk in small groups with Japanese embassy officials about the education system in Japan, study abroad programs, what a diplomat does, and the career path to becoming a diplomat. Students also shared why they are learning Japanese and why learning languages is important. The officials were very impressed with our students and expressed their interest in supporting the Japanese program at MLWGS. Embassy officials also met with Dr. Lowerre and Mr. White, the International Languages department chair, to congratulate MLWGS on the establishment of our Japanese 3 course.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Embassy-of-Japan-2.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-379462 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mlwgs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Embassy-of-Japan-2.png?resize=512%2C384&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 512px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 512\/384;\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Delegation pictured with MLWGS students.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pictured Left-Right: Mr. White (MLWGS International Languages Department Chair),&nbsp;Ms. Eshita (MLWGS Japanese Teacher),&nbsp;Ms. Nakamura (First Secretary at the Embassy of Japan),&nbsp;Mr. Folsom (Education Coordinator at the Embassy of Japan),&nbsp;Dr. Lowerre [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":379462,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_wpscppro_dont_share_socialmedia":false,"_wpscppro_custom_social_share_image":0,"_facebook_share_type":"","_twitter_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type":"","_pinterest_share_type":"","_linkedin_share_type_page":"","_instagram_share_type":"","_medium_share_type":"","_threads_share_type":"","_google_business_share_type":"","_selected_social_profile":[],"_wpsp_enable_custom_social_template":false,"_wpsp_social_scheduling":{"enabled":false,"datetime":null,"platforms":[],"status":"template_only","dateOption":"today","timeOption":"now","customDays":"","customHours":"","customDate":"","customTime":"","schedulingType":"absolute"},"_wpsp_active_default_template":true},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-379461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Embassy of Japan visits MLWGS - Maggie L.
