The Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) (National Autonomous University of Mexico) is a public research university in Mexico City, Mexico that is the largest university in Latin America.[8] UNAM was founded, in its modern form, on 22 September 1910 by Justo Sierra[1][2][3][4] as a liberal alternative to its preceding institution the Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico (founded on 21 September 1551 by a royal decree of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and brought to a definitive closure in 1867 by the liberals).


He speaks Spanish, Japanese, and Mandarin.

He is the author of Kodansha Kanji Learner's Course.

Kanji (漢字; Japanese pronunciation: [kandʑi] About this sound listen), or kan'ji, are the adopted logographic Chinese characters (hànzì)[1] that are used in the modern Japanese writing system along with hiragana and katakana. The Japanese term kanji for the Chinese characters literally means "Han characters"[2] and is written using the same characters as the Chinese word hànzì (simplified Chinese: 汉字; traditional Chinese: 漢字).[3]wikipedia
