Web Site for New Zealand Association of Japanese Language Teachers (NZAJLT)
In November 2002, the New Zealand Association of Japanese Language Teachers launched a web site aimed at people studying the Japanese language. The site was officially launched by the Minister for Education, The Honourable Trevor Mallard, with around one hundred people attending the opening ceremony. The Consul-General of Japan at the time, Mr Tatsuo Mizuno, also offered words of congratulation and encouragement to those who had worked hard to get the site up and running.
The site is and ideal information source either for those studying Japanese formally or for general interest purposes. It also contains a lot of information about Japanese culture and links to other useful sites, so whatever your interest in Japan , it is a site well worth visiting.
