OURJAPAN! - (OJ!) is a new resource for all students studying Japanese. The main purpose of this publication is to provide young people with informative and enjoyable Japanese study materials and the latest topics from Japan.

We had been developing this newspaper since 2006. We have been fortunate to gain warm support for this publication from educators in New Zealand and Australia. We know that there are a significant number of students undertaking Japanese courses in New Zealand and Australia each year, with Japanese being the second most popular “second language” choice for language students.

We hope that the newspaper will be received favourably by teachers and students. Our aim is that this resource will help connect students and teachers around New Zealand and Australia. We welcome feedback to enable us to develop the publication further.
