I will model the language but also encourage students to repeat at home. HOMEWORK: Each week there will be either a team Kahoot quiz or a “question of the week”. Learners can share pictures of their Japanese journal pages and videos answering questions in Japanese. We will practice asking and answering 4 questions with full sentences in Japanese. Public Review: “Really loved the flex option for this class, the songs and videos were engaging for my 5 year old and she remembered what she learned rapidly since it was so fun!” I am not a native speaker and therefore have a mid-western American accent.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Science from Eastern Michigan University
I have been taking weekly Japanese language classes for the past four years. I am not an expert or fluent Japanese speaker. I am not a native speaker and therefore have a mid-eastern American accent. However, I was encouraged by my teacher (Yoshino Sensi) to teach Japanese. All of my classes are basic Japanese skills for beginners. I enjoy the language and learning about Japanese culture. My three children have also been taking Japanese classes for the past three years. We often play memory games and practice speaking with each other in Japanese. Reviews
