This class is a continuation of Learn Japanese for Kids, and will expand your child's Japanese vocabulary and increase their fluency in Japanese. We will cover a variety of vocabulary topics, including family members, descriptions, food, drinks, hobbies, clothing, around town, and at home vocabulary. We will continue to practice simple sentence structure and grammar, and begin to use more complex grammar structures. Each class will include a review of basic greetings, an introduction to new vocabulary, a simple grammar structure to practice newly learned vocabulary, a short Q&A to review vocabulary, and a game/song/activity to further practice what we have learned. Students will have the opportunity to interact with one another and ask simple questions in Japanese. This class is a great way to expand your child's Japanese vocabulary and increase their confidence in speaking in a fun and comfortable environment!
