Konnichiwa,  I am Amy sensei.  Welcome to Guided Japanese Learning for learners ages 6-9.    This class is part 1 of a 2 part in Japanese designed to build and retain vocabulary and practice speaking in beginner level sentences in a fun and engaging way.  Learners will naturally begin using new words and phrases in order to play games presented in class.  Suitable for absolute beginners and learners with some exposure. (If you are unsure of placement, please reach out to me).

Lessons will be in Japanese and English. This class, Tanoshii 1a and 1b we focus on listening and speaking skills.   In Tanoshii 2, we will add writing and reading as well.

I will create a predictable routine to support comfort, confidence and comprehension.  I use props, flashcards in both Romaji (English Alphabet and Kana), a felt board, puppets, stories, videos, VR trips, gestures and movement to bring life and understanding to the language.  I am observant, personable, and playful and love to build a connection with each learner.
