어린이를 위한 일본어 - 그룹 레슨 (진행 중)

Japanese for Kidz offers ongoing Group Lessons for young people with engaging Japanese language content ranging in level from Beginner, Intermediate, to Upper Intermediate, and beyond.  Students are placed in a level that suits their ability based on a consultation with Jasmine-sensei and various times for that level will be recommended to the student and family.  Students will schedule a private lesson with Jasmine-sensei to assess their level before being placed in a level that's just right for them.  

In each level, students will cover all aspects of Japanese language including grammar, listening, conversation, reading, and writing (hiragana, kaakana, kanji) in a cyclical fashion until mastery is achieved at their level.  Students will then progress to the next level based on the recommendation of the instructor.  

Current levels offered: 

Level 1 - Beginner A (younger students)   *approx. 0 - 50 hours of language study 
Level 1 - Beginner B (older students) 
Level 2 - Int. Beginner A (younger students) *approx. 50 - 100 hours of language study
