FLEX: Dibujo de historias en japonés para principiantes: de 7 a 11 años

KONICHIWA!

Welcome to Flex Japanese Storydraw for Beginners: Ages 7-11. We are excited to have your kids join our program and start learning! All lesson modules are pre-recorded videos, so there won't be any scheduled live meetings.

In this 8-week self-paced course, we will explore the Japanese language through our own short stories created by Language Mindset. Our language acquisition method is based on short stories ranging from 25-50 words, which we break down using our decoding system. This approach helps your kids understand the language structure without having to memorize grammar rules. We believe that language learning can be fun and engaging, and that's why we have developed lovable characters like Salt the cat, Pepper the dog, and Sunny the Squirrel to help your kids learn.
