Hiragana Here We Go!

*Note* This class is currently only available to ages 10-14. If your child is outside of the age range and wishes to learn hiragana, please let me know so that I can make a new class for them.

Hiragana is the foundation to Japanese writing, and it is recommended that students learn it before beginning their Japanese studies. So let's dive in together!

Each class will consist of reading practice as well as a live writing session with the teacher. Fun games and mnemonic devices will be used to help students review and retain characters. In between classes students will have the opportunity to practice on their own, applying the characters via real Japanese words.

Week 1:
- Introduction to Japanese sounds, writing techniques, stroke order, written vs. typed Japanese. 
- あいうえお・かきくけこ・さしすせそ

Week 2:
-Reviewing and building upon previously learned hiragana
