📅 Samuráis en los Andes: Learn Spanish Through the Japanese–Peruvian Story

Learning Spanish has never been so inspiring—or so meaningful.
In this course, you’ll learn Spanish through one of the most fascinating cultural journeys in Latin America: the migration of the Japanese to Peru and the birth of the Nikkei identity. From the Sakura Maru to the rise of global Nikkei culture, you’ll explore history, identity, and language while improving your Spanish in a dynamic, conversational way.

🌏 Dive Into Language Through Culture and Migration

This is more than a history course—it’s a bridge between peoples.
You’ll discover how a rural Japan from the Meiji era crossed the Pacific to meet a mestizo Latin America, and how that encounter shaped families, food, identity… and language.
