Prime minister Narendra Modi (the 15th Prime minister of India) wants Japan to take the time to create Japanese language courses online so that more people can learn the language. He said that Indian languages could also be introduced to Japan, but what prompted this?
In India they had introduced Japanese as a language to be learnt in schools. However, there was a shortage of Japanese teachers to teach the subject. If Japanese was more readily available to learn this could be prevented. Narendra Modi believes that mutual language learning support would help their countries.
Modi arrived in Kyoto on Saturday and was received by Shinzo Abe and is scheduled to hold a talk with him.
I certainly would not object to more Japanese language learning material becoming available, especially if it was free and open source and hopefully all in one place!
What support do you think the Japanese government should add?
