With or without any experience, your child will be speaking in Japanese by the end of the first course. During these pre-recorded lessons, students will follow along with me as if it’s a live class. I will write and draw pictures of target words while students do the same at home. Together we will create a colorful book of pictures, words and phrases that students can cherish for all time. I will model the language but also encourage students to repeat at home. 

Every week new videos will be available in the classroom including: 20 new vocabulary words/phrases and a "question of the week". This course focuses on using sentences to communicate. 

WEEK ONE: Let’s talk about our hobbies!
WEEK TWO: Let’s talk about our family!
WEEK THREE: Let’s talk about our neighborhood!
WEEK FOUR: Let’s talk about occupations! “What do you want to be when you grow up?”

Although this is a "Flex" class, students are still required to participate. Each week there will be a question and answer section at the end of class. Students are encouraged to create a video of themselves answering the question while using a full sentence. When each class ends, students will take a picture of their work and share with the class. They can also share videos of themselves speaking to help with pronunciation. 

How does a “Flexible Schedule” course work?
*No scheduled live video chats. A series of prerecorded videos will be available each week to view and learn at your convenience. 
*Discussions via classroom forum and private messages with the teacher
*Great if your learner prefers independent pacing or is uncomfortable with live video chat
