Japanese education in Brazil (Japanese)
(Japanese) When studying Japanese in Brazil, there are certain roadblocks you run into when using textbooks that were imported from Japan. So then, there were talks about making a domestic version, and I was called over to help out in developing it. Looking back, from the inception of the first volume, it took a total of five years to come up with 12 volumes. It’s an old story now, but such a textbook was created and used domestically for a long time.
