Let's Learn Japanese 2.6: Health

Over the course of 8 lessons, students will learn Japanese vocabulary and phrases used while visiting the doctor. This broad learning goal includes many sub-topics such as learning the parts of the human body, describing symptoms of illnesses, understanding common directions that doctors will give during medical exams, and understanding doctor recommendations on things you should and should not do. Relevant cultural topics will be worked into a few lessons. 17 new 漢字 (Kanji) characters will be introduced and several older characters will be reviewed.

This course will primarily be presented in PowerPoint format. The beginning of each class is usually spent reviewing characters and worksheets. Next, we learn and practice a new set of characters using learning exercises and flashcards. Finally, we apply the new characters to reading basic Japanese phrases. 

Because this is part of a conversation-based language course, classes will be interactive by nature. Students will be expected to speak in class when prompted. This helps me properly assess what they have learned and give them tips for improvement. I try to vary speaking as a group, using the chatbox, and speaking one-on-one in my classes so that students do not feel like they are being put on the spot all the time. If your child feels uncomfortable unmuting themselves in class for short periods of time, this language series is probably not the right fit for them. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
