Today's Lessons:

Have you ever been abroad? Traveling to foreign countries is fun. Many Japanese travel abroad every year. There are many purposes for visiting other countries like seeing famous places, enjoying food, and meeting people. The best way to know another country is to go out and meet the people there.
Many foreign people are visiting Japan, too. Sometimes groups of students come and visit schools. For example, one hundred and twelve foreign students visited schools in Yamanashi in April 2006. Forty-five students visited in May, and a hundred and sixty-four came the next month. In July, two hundred and seventy-four foreign students came.
