The 40th Australian National Final Japanese Language Speech Contest held at the Japan Foundation, Sydney on Saturday, 10th October 2009 showcased a wide range of brilliant speeches from all four divisions.
To reach the National Final, participants must demonstrate excellence in both Language and Public Speaking. We congratulate all of this year’s contestants and extend a warm thank you to the families and all audience members who took the time to support and ensure the success of the event.
