Georgia Public Broadcasting set new instructional standards with Irasshai, which was the nations’ number one Japanese language and culture distance learning course from 1996 through 2009.
Irasshai was designed to meet the needs of high school or college students as well as the needs of adult community learners and professionals who would like to acquire Japanese language and culture skills.
The 138 Irasshai video lessons get up close and intimate with viewer learners. Dr. Tim Cook, an Emmy award-winning instructor, takes students on a personal journey to where Japanese is spoken. Sometimes it’s predictable – inside a Japanese home or a Tokyo office building. Sometimes it’s less so – a sushi bar in Atlanta, a fishing hole in the Appalachians.
The Irasshai website provides access to additional language practice for each lesson, links to cultural journeys and further personal exploration of Japan-related topics.
