Class Experience

Welcome to Here's Katakana part 4. This is class 4 of 5 classes. You only have one more class: that is truly amazing. You have persevered through it all. In my opinion, you are a trooper.

In this lesson, we will review what we have learned in parts 1, 2, and 3 as well as go over the last 18 of the 69 characters. So in total, you will know 69 of the 69 characters. Wow! You are completely done with learning one of the Japanese Alphabets. That is wonderful.

In this lesson, we will learn how to read, write and pronounce the Japanese letters

マ, ミ, ム, メ, モ

I received my undergraduate degree in the Japanese language, culture, and history. I also earned my Master's degree in K-12 education. I studied abroad at Nihon University in Tokyo as well as worked as an English teacher in Niigata, Japan. I was able to see what I learned firsthand.

Students will be given worksheets to print out after the class to reinforce their learning. Because this class meets once, this is optional and they have the choice to send their homework to me to look over.

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.

1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
