Each week there will be a series of new learning videos. During these lessons students will follow along with me as if it’s a live class. My teaching style is often silly and charismatic to help capture learners attention. I hold up several visual aides for props and steer away from screen sharing. While learning a new language it is important to use a variety of learning methods, this is why we draw, write, speak and practice with quizzes. Together we will create a colorful book of pictures, words and phrases that students can cherish for all time. I will model the language but also encourage students to repeat at home. Cement the language to memory with our team Kahoot quizzes! You can take the quizzes multiple times and compete with classmates for a top spot on the leaderboard. There are eleven "question of the week" opportunities for learners to ask and answer questions with myself and other learners while using full sentences in Japanese. 

Although this is a "Flex" class, students are still required to participate. Each week there will be a question and answer section at the end of class. Students are encouraged to create a video of themselves answering the question while using a full sentence. When each class ends, students will take a picture of their work and share with the class. They can also share videos of themselves speaking to help with pronunciation. 

How does a “Flexible Schedule” course work?
*No scheduled live video chats. A series of prerecorded videos will be available each week to view and learn at your convenience. 
*Discussions via classroom forum and private messages with the teacher
*Great if your learner prefers independent pacing or is uncomfortable with live video chat
