Hello after long Summer vacation!

Japan Center is ready to start the Language Course, but still waiting for the final answer from the venue. Please wait for the new settlement of the courses. Hopefully starting from October.

All three terms of Japanese Language Course during 2011-2012 are finished.

There were “Beginner Course” and “Intermediate Course”. Beginner started with more than 10 students with age group from 11 yrs old to young working adults. They study hard enough to keep up their level with high spirit although it is only weekend’s 2 hour course. 

Intermediate course was combined with students who have finished Beginner’s two term during this year and last year. Teacher of Intermediate Course speaks mostly in Japanese, so that students pick up the proper pronunciation & expression during classes.

In 2012-2013, New Course will start at the end of September or Beginning of October 2012. There will be announcement in web in September. So please check our web time to time.

All the event of UAE-Japan Cultural Center during 2011-12 are completed. We thanks and appreciate everyone’s effort  involved in Japanese Course and many other event during the year 2011-12.

Japan Center has attended in the Cultural Section of 1st Middle East Film and Comic Con. which took place on April 20 and 21 at the Dubai International Marine Club. Since many young people start learning Japanese Language with their interests in Manga and Anime, Japan Center also keeps interests in  such pop-culture, too.

Comic Con was with such chaos !! with so many people and with so much information!! We were very happy to get many people’s attention in our tent. In our booth, Japan Center provided “Your Name in Japanese”, “Photo-shooting with Japanese Costumes”, “Origami”,  etc. Many people have enjoyed a glimpse of Japanese Culture during Comic Con.

Japan Center’s  biggest annual event “Summer Camp 2012” has finished with great success.

The third day of camp started with workshop of “Character Bento”—lunch box with Anime Characters. Participants tried to make “Hello Kitty Bento” or “Piccachu Bento”. The teacher is a Japanese Mother who makes such bento every day. She prepared some contents of the Bento, as it usually takes 2 hours to complete nice one. Participants tried to make “Character Face with rice”, “Sausage Flower”, “Potate Snail” and some other contents. They were all impressed to see how one piece of sausage changed into a cute flower. 

Calligraphy Master offered workshop of  “Japanese Calligraphy”. He taught Japanese Kanji of  “Moon” and “Dream” . The participants learnt how to make nice stroke with brush.  After while, each participants start their own kanji, which they want to write. Some write’Dragon”, some write “Flwer”, “Love” or “Heaven”. 1 hour & half-class passed so quickly.

Japan Center offers “Summer Camp” every year at different universities. Any university interested in?  Then contact us in February time!  See you next year!!

Japanese Company Canon sponsored this year’s camp and offered Photo Workshop. Many participants are interested in shooting better angle & quality photos, so they had many question to ask.

May 30 was the first day of the “Japanese Summer Camp 2012”.

The first lecture “Japan” took place at the auditorium. Ikebana Flower Workshop followed after the short brake in Graphic Design Room, as well as Karate Workshop at the Studio. More than 10 ladies tried Flower Arrangement for the first time.  They struggled to make their flowers look as fine as their teacher’s work. It was a bit difficult to make the mentioned angles and volume. But they enjoyed so much.
