A preschooler introduces herself in English to Marines

A preschooler introduces herself in English to Marines and her classmates during the “Play in English” program Sept. 19 at Namisato Nursery in Kin Town. “I believe it is a benefit to kids when they start learning (English) when they are young,” said Yoko Nakama. “They naturally improve their listening skills, and they are not hesitant to speak up or listen to English.” Nakama is the director of Namisato Nursery. The Marines are with 5th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group, III MEF. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Diamond N. Peden/Released)
