This sheet is a perfect example of Japanese educational culture, blending international awareness with language study.
Key Educational Features
- Kanji & Furigana: Learn to read “南アフリカ共和国” (Republic of South Africa). Small Hiragana (Furigana) is placed above the Kanji to help you with pronunciation.
- Katakana Mastery: Foreign country names are written in Katakana in Japan. This provides excellent practice for recognizing these phonetic characters.
- Bilingual Design: With English titles included, you can easily compare and memorize the Japanese names for countries.

In Japanese elementary schools, students use these types of worksheets to familiarize themselves with complex Kanji at an early age.
The “Rainbow Nation” flag, with its six colors, is a favorite among Japanese learners for its beauty and the symbolic meaning of unity.
