My teaching approach focuses on speaking a lot, using the language actively, and gradually remembering it through practice. I don’t just give answers right away—I guide students on how to find them, helping them develop problem-solving skills and a deeper understanding of Japanese. ★ learn Hiragana 46 letters +dakuten, han-dakuten,Youon,Sokuon ★Numbers ★Basic Greeting ★Time: how to ask time and answer using numbers you are leaning ★Introducing: Introducing yourself and get to know your friend ★Grammars: Lean grammar in each class.

Thank you for your understanding! 👦🎤 Clear Audio for a Better Class Experience iThis is an active speaking class, so clear audio is essential for effective communication. Please ensure that your child’s microphone volume is set properly so they can fully participate in conversations.⭐️ Why is this important?：Using internal speakers can cause an echo, making it hard for others to hear.Internal microphones often make voices too quiet or unclear, affecting communication. ✅ How to improve the experience: Please have your child use a microphone and headphones/earphones during class.
