What's included

30 mins in-class hoursClass Experience
In this bilingual story time art class, we will read the beloved Japanese classic "Polar Bear's Pancakes" or "しろくまちゃんのほっとけーき" -- a tale about a little bear learning to make its own pancakes. The book is in Japanese and I will provide translation in English so that even new learners can follow the story line. Following the storytelling, we will highlight some Japanese words from the story and learn their strokes. Children will learn to draw Polar Bear and its pancakes following simple instructions on screen. Parents are welcome to attend alongside younger learners.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I started learning Japanese when I was 13 and took part in various immersion and home-stay programs in Japan. As a teenager, I represented my country in the Japanese Speech Award--an annual event that invites high school students from all over the world to participate in an international speech contest in Tokyo. I remain very much in love with the language and culture to this day and make frequent trips to Japan to visit my host family and friends.
