About this site
"Nihongo Memo" website was first launched in January
2003 as part of the support work for teachers of
Japanese in Victoria, Australia by Shunko Muroya, the
Japan Foundation sponsored advisor to the Education
Department of Victoria, Australia.
The site hadn't been updated
since the end of Mr. Muroya's posting to Melbourne in
June 2005. But, as he has taken another Japan Foundation
position, serving as the Japanese Advisor to Alberta
Education (Canada) since July 2006, the webside has now
been updated.
