Class Experience

Get ready for the ultimate storytime! In this four-day class, students (ages 3-6) will be exposed to Japanese through reading! We will meet four times within a week, and every day, we will read a new book! Students will get first-hand exposure to children's books in Japanese, as all the books are from Japan and written by Japanese authors. In the first part of each class, students will learn some Japanese vocabulary. Then, they will listen to a short story that incorporates the vocabulary they have learned. After the story, students will share with their classmates something they like or have learned. Throughout the four days, students will learn to identify many animals and items in Japanese. In my class, I believe in learning and having fun. While having fun, however, we will also practice classroom etiquette. Let's get ready to read, learn some Japanese, and have fun!

Day 1 - Bikkuri Omen by Wada Kotomi
Day 2 - Pyon by Matsuoka Tatsuhide
Day 3 - Gatan Goton by Anzai Mizumaru
Day 4 - Omen by Wada Kotomi

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!
