A.L.A. Free Japanese Lessons, Fall 2010 in Second Life

Hello/ Kon nichi wa

A.L.A. (Accuras Language Academies) is a language learning group in Second Life launched in April 2007 by Accura Kurosawa, the Principal.

We'll be hosting FREE Japanese lessons in 2 courses (Basic course for beginners and Mid beginners course, 1 orientation + 6 sessions each) in this September and October. From this back to school season, we'll move our classroom (previously at the Fortune Diner) to a new location in a virtual academy called Digital Akademeia.

Digital Akademeia is the most popular educational group among the Japanese community in SL. Many japanese residents enjoy learning there in various field of interests such as English, Machinima production, sound creation, and more all for FREE!

Accura Kurosawa has been teaching English at Digital Akademeia for years and now he merges his Japanese lessons together under the same roof.

You will meet more Japanese friends there who are interested in learning different cultures and languages, so you'll be able to interchange among people of different cultures as well.

It's your challenging opportunity and experiences of a metaverse learning in Second Life. Please come and join us ;)
