This class is the third course of the Learn Japanese for Kids series, and will expand your child's Japanese vocabulary and increase their fluency in Japanese. We will cover a variety of new vocabulary topics, including school, jobs, seasons, transportation, travel, and sightseeing vocabulary. We will begin to practice more complex sentence structures and grammar, and use what we learn in everyday scenarios to help your child practice what they have learned in a natural way. Each class will include a review of basic conversation, 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 increasingly complex 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!
