2009 Japanese Speech Contest
Each year the Japan Foundation sponsors a Japanese language speech contest with a wide range of categories from beginners to background speakers. The contest is a two-stage affair, with a local competition in Canberra (date TBD) and then a national competition in Sydney for the winners of the local events. Last year ANU students swept the ACT contest and made a very strong showing in the national event. So give it a try and take your Japanese out of the classroom and into the real world! Deadline for applications is 11 Sept, 2009 but don’t wait till the last minute!
