I have an acquantance in France who is interested in teaching French in Japan. Anybody know of any relevant schools or resources I can recommend? Also, information of visas for French citizens would be appreciated. Thanks.

On a bit of a tangent here, perhaps, but the other day on NHK news they talked about a "boom" in foreign languages other than English. Apparently more and more secondary schools are adopting a new foreign language to teach. The most popular are Chinese and Korean, but your friend might want to look into schools offering French.

Hi Birdog,

There's a place in Shinjuku, Tokyo called Dean Morgan Academy which gives French lessons. It's a fairly small place but it's worth a shot. I'll see if I can find their web address.
