Private Japanese Lessons for Teens! (Beginners/Intermediate/Advanced)

This class will be a class for pre-teens and teens who want to start learning Japanese. This class will be focused on grammar, proper pronunciation, and vocabulary. The focus will vary depending on the preference of the student. Each class will begin with a review of material from the previous class, and move on to a new material. There will be a set of slides for each class, that will be later shared with students after the class. Students will be encouraged to ask any questions throughout the class, and will also be encouraged to participate.

Students are not required to have any previous knowledge about Japanese. 

The first couple of classes will be focused on writing in Japanese using Hiragana and Katakana. Then we will move on to grammar to form simple sentences. Some topics will be particles, short/long forms, te-forms, negation, past tenses, verbs, adjectives, and more. By the end of the course, they will be able to create sentences on their own, and will have basic conversation skills. 

This is a rough schedule for beginners:
Week 1-3: Slides 1-6 Writing, introductions, introduction to grammar, sentences and particles
Week 4-6: Slides 7-12 Review of sentence structures, introduction to verbs, possession, and continuation of particles + vocabulary
Week 7-9: Slides 13-18 continuation of grammar (there is X, location words, past tense, etc), speaking and vocabulary


We will also go over set of vocabularies that students will be asked to study at home for. There will be vocabulary check ins.
All class materials will be provided, but students may choose to purchase their own if they'd like physical copies.
