This course lasts 20 days and includes four hours of daily
3. Students learn simple phrases they need for school, such as
"Please 4 a seat," or the names of different rooms. The classes are
5 by teachers who can speak Chinese.
After finishing the course, students move into ordinary classes.
6, they continue attending a language support course for one to five
hours per week. This course gives small-group lessons 7 each student's level. *There is no set time
for completing it—students "graduate" when their Japanese skills are good 8.
"First and second grade classes face the biggest 9," school principal (校长) Tomomi Kato told
The Mainichi, since younger students often have 10 Japanese skills.
However, learning Japanese is not the only challenge for students from other countries.
Math and writing are taught 11 in Japan compared to other countries, which makes it 12

Now, 52 students are in the program, but that 14 is expected to grow over the next few years.
Kato said she was 15 by the number, but told The Mainichi, "We'll keep doing what we can."
