Please see our other similar Japanese classes offered for older students. The Japanese language has become extremely popular due to anime, J-pop and J-dramas! This 1-time 45-minute easy-going class is aimed at students who are interested in starting their Japanese language journey. Discover Japan through its language! Students will be briefly introduced to the three writing systems of Japanese (Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji). Students will be instructed on Japanese Katakana writing rules. Students will use Japanese Katakana to individually practice writing their names. Students will also be shown a Kanji of their name's meaning to practice. (* PERSONALIZED writing of Student's name in Katakana and Kanji) Students are expected to participate in the writing activities and have cameras ON to show their work. [Repeat students may turn their cameras OFF, but may be asked to show their written work.] In this class, all Japanese is accompanied with Rōmaji (Roman alphabet) for easy reading and following along. No prior Japanese language learning is required - Easy Japanese-y! Please bring a notebook/paper and pencil/pen to class. Only Zoom on the Outschool platform is used for this class. ** Teacher provides coupon discount for multiple students/siblings - just ask :) Thank you.
