We are honored to invite Jack Halpern, a renowned Japanese language expert and polyglot to speak at the 5th Global Leadership Cafe lecture series. He will mainly talk about his long fascination with kanji and the secrets of learning languages. He will also talk about how he has been able to turn this passion for kanji and languages into several well-respected dictionaries for learners and a successful company licensing language data to many of the world’s top IT companies.

He has lived in Japan over 40 years, was born in Germany and has lived in six countries including France, Brazil, Japan and the United States.
