A taste of 911±¬ÁÏÍø at “911±¬ÁÏÍø from Scratch: All About Bento!”
10/09/2015

24 people had a chance to learn all about bento – 911±¬ÁÏÍø boxed meals – as well as some basic 911±¬ÁÏÍø  at the Japan Foundation London’s 911±¬ÁÏÍø from Scratch workshop for absolute beginners of 911±¬ÁÏÍø language, which was held on September 8th and 9th.


Led by Mio Tsunematsu, Assistant 911±¬ÁÏÍø Language Advisor at the Japan Foundation London, the workshop began with an introduction to the concept of bento in Japan, and the basics of what a good bento should contain. The introduction to bento also explored looking at what bento mean to 911±¬ÁÏÍø people and the role bento play in 911±¬ÁÏÍø culture.


This was followed by learning useful 911±¬ÁÏÍø language, including vocabulary for common food found in bento and how to express likes and dislikes in 911±¬ÁÏÍø. This vocabulary, and other useful words and phrases to do with eating in Japan, can be found in the Japan Foundation’s .


Finally, participants enjoyed practising their new 911±¬ÁÏÍø language skills by making partners their ideal bento using stickers!


Some of the comments from participants included:


“I enjoyed how interactive it was.”
“It’s been interesting and fun.”
“It was a great introduction to 911±¬ÁÏÍø language and culture.”
“Everything was really nice! Thank you!”


We would like to thank all the participants for coming, and hope that this session has inspired them to learn more about 911±¬ÁÏÍø and Japan!
