The Second Language Department at Ritsumeikan Uji High School plans a variety of initiatives to expose students to foreign languages other than English and non-English speaking cultures.

Spanish is the official language in 21 countries and regions around the world, with 493 million native speakers and 591 million users including second language speakers, making it the third most commonly used language in the world.

Twenty-two students from first-year junior high school students to third-year high school students, from all junior high school IP/IC and high school IB/IM/IG courses, have entered the Spanish course this time (June 22). In the first course, students learned how to pronounce, numbers, and greetings.

In the future, this course plans to go on a Uji walking tour with Spanish students from Ritsumeikan University using the Spanish they learned.
