This class is a self-paced learning course consisting of 8 pre-recorded video lessons that can be viewed and studied at your own learning pace! In this class, we will cover the basics of the Japanese language, including greetings, colors, animals, numbers, body parts, weather, feelings, actions, and simple sentence structure and grammar. We will learn basic grammar structures and verb conjugations for state-of-being, and practice using the plain form to conjugate verbs. 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 quiz to review vocabulary, and a game/song/activity to further practice what we have learned. This class is a great way to introduce your kids to this beautiful language, and no prior knowledge of Japanese is necessary to participate in this class. This class is fun and interactive and is sure to have your kids speaking Japanese within the first few classes!
