Class Experience
Beginner Level
In this class students will continue brushing up on 2 of the alphabets in Japanese language: Hiragana and Katakana. We will start learning Kanji in this course. This class is recommended for students who already have an understanding of how the Japanese writing system works and have already learned Hiragana and Katakana ( it is used to write words of foreign origin and more). The instruction will be in English, with gradually adding more and more Japanese as students learn more vocabulary....

On our last lesson we will play a Kahoot game created by me to summarize what we have learned so far. It is a lot of fun for the students. . No log in or account is necessary. The children will need a phone to play. They will need to scan the QR code on the screen and it will automatically connect to the game. Then the students will try to answer the multiple choice questions they see as fast as they can. The results will be displayed on the computer screen and we will discuss the results. We may play the game multiple times and most importantly we will have fun. During the course, I will provide additional optional homework on Quizlet. Using this program is very educational and a lot of fun for the students. Parents will need to create an account for the student using email and password. Creating an account is a very simple process. Again, this is optional but a nice addition to learning.
