Class Experience

Are you enthralled with Japanese culture? Do you want to learn Japanese? Want to visit Japan someday? Well then, this class is for you! In this course, students will explore a weekly topic and learn vocabulary and some phrases that will be useful in Japan. Students will have more words to add to their arsenal, from taking a taxi to ordering at a restaurant. No prior Japanese experience is required.

Students will also be exposed to the Japanese hiragana system. They will see vocabulary in English, Japanese script, and romaji (using Roman letters to write Japanese words). This is just for introducing the hiragana system and not a requirement for them to learn to read. Furthermore, they will learn phonetic pronunciation. It is vital that students feel welcome and excited about learning. While having fun, we will also practice good classroom etiquette, speak with one another with respect, and do so in an orderly fashion. The class will be interactive, and students will get a chance to practice and say aloud the vocabulary they learn. Let’s get ready to learn and have fun!

Hi! My name is Retz. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in History with a minor in Biology from the University of Miami. I received a Master’s Degree in History from Villanova University along with a Museum Studies Certificate from the University of Delaware. One of my passions is Japanese. I have lived in Japan for five years. I obtained Japanese Language Proficiency Test Certificates for the N3, N4, and N5 levels. And have been teaching Japanese in various capacities. I also possess a TESOL certificate and have taught ESL English for over eight years. I have experience teaching kids from 3-15 years of age. In my class, it is vital that students feel welcome and excited about learning. I do this by engaging with the students and providing encouragement and simple rewards throughout the class. Let’s learn and have fun!
