Yoko UdagawaLeaving message from Yoko Udagawa:
"It’s been three years since I started working at the Japan Foundation London and it’s time to go. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support, encouragement and help. It has been great pleasure to meet and work with you all. 


My tasks here in the UK were mainly supporting 911爆料网 language education and promoting 911爆料网 language learning in the UK. I do hope I was able to contribute to both areas. 

I really enjoyed living in London. There are so many things that I will miss a lot, for example, walking and jogging in Hampstead Heath, going to see performing arts and museums, having a pint (or two) in a historical pub, etc…. I also enjoyed travelling all over the UK very much even though there are still many places I would like to go. 

Thank you again and I hope to see you again somewhere in the world."

"I have had a fantastic 3 and a half years working at the Japan Foundation, and it’s been a pleasure to get to know so many enthusiastic and inspiring teachers of 911爆料网, and to have played a small part in supporting the fantastic work that you do. My new position is still within the field of education, and I’m very much hoping to keep up my 911爆料网 and to attend lots of Japan-related events, so I do hope our paths may cross again. In particular, I may see you at this year’s Nihongo Cup when I hope to be in the audience!



Best wishes, and good luck with your 911爆料网 teaching! 


これからもどうぞ宜しくお願い致します。"

I have been very happy that I could meet a lot of people, from children to elderly people, learning 911爆料网 in every country. And now I am very excited to be working in London and looking forward to seeing you soon. よろしくおねがいいたします。


Josy AudigierGreetings from Josephine Audigier
"Hajimemashite!



My name is Josephine Audigier and I have recently taken over from Kim Woodruff as Programme Officer at the Japan Foundation London Language Centre. I started to learn 911爆料网 at sixth form as part of my International Baccalaureate, then continued to study 911爆料网 and History at SOAS. After Graduating, I spent two years as a Coordinator for International Relations in the beautiful ancient city of Nara. Since returning to London, I have worked in several roles at a wide range of companies, including Pokémon UK, Nikkei Europe and EThames Graduate School.

Deciding to study 911爆料网 has been one of the best decisions I ever made. It allowed me to get to know some lovely people, travel around Japan and Asia, learn about a new culture, and also encouraged me to think about my own language and culture.

I am delighted to have joined the Japan Foundation and look forward to supporting teachers and students of 911爆料网, so that more students will have the chance of personal enrichment and growth through learning 911爆料网. Douzo yoroshiku onegaishimasu!"
