Foreign language expressions when administering a vaccine
The Matsumoto Global Foundation has compiled a video of foreign language expressions used during vaccination and uploaded simple conversations to YouTube. It is useful for nurses and other related parties to speak to patients in Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Burmese. Each language is easy to learn as it includes furigana, and texts can also be downloaded.

English expressions for COVID-19 vaccination
The Matsumoto Memorial Foundation has compiled English expressions to use when receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. To help you communicate in English, we have included English expressions for each step at the vaccination site. If you download the leaflet comparing the English and Japanese versions , on-site responses will be even smoother.
You can also listen to the actual English version on the Matsumoto Foundation Channel (Youtube) . Please use this as well. If you are not confident in your pronunciation, you can play the relevant part on your mobile phone at the venue.

2019 Spring Regular Class Lesson
This is the second session of the regular classes, and textbooks and other materials have been improved.
A commemorative photo was taken with Ms. Fallon and the students holding their certificates. Please continue to work hard in the future.
After the fifth lesson, we had a social gathering that also served as a reflection session. Everyone looked like they were having a great time! It seemed like a bond had been formed among the people who didn't know each other at the time.
