What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Students will be given worksheets to print out after the class to reinforce their learning. The homework is required and will need it to pass onto the next class. They will get a vocabulary list that goes over everything they have studied.Assessment
I do not routinely give an assessment at the end of the class. However, if a student or parent would like an assessment, they may request one by emailing me.Class Experience
With a little bit of experimenting, I have combined two learning methods into one, both to help the learner succeed and master the Japanese language and understand the Japanese culture. This class is designed to help the student become fluent in Japanese and to understand the culture behind not only the language but also the people. I will first put the student into a situation and then give them sentences to respond to those situations. The sentences will then be broken down into vocabulary and grammar. Each lesson will focus on one or two grammar points with more situations as examples. In this lesson, students will be able to: 1. Review formal and informal conversations 2. Learn the formal and informal words for adjectives and adverbs 3. Learn how to change the adverbs into adjectives and vice versa 4. Learn the Kanji for being well You will get all three in one-course culture, language, and writing, probably something other classes do not delve into. You will enjoy the PowerPoint slides and optional homework. We will study in an upbeat interactive way, something you do not want to miss. There is a prerequisite for this class. You will need to know all of the lower elementary classes Please bring an open mind and be ready to learn. Please note: "All material will be presented via PowerPoint and screen shared by the teacher. The games will also be screen shared by the teacher. Learners will not click links, access outsides websites, or need to login to any accounts."
