일본어를 배우자 1.5: 좋아하는 것과 싫어하는 것

Over the course of 8 lessons, students will learn how to express their likes and dislikes of various things in Japanese. In grammar, we will continue to review the plain form and ます-form of different verbs. We will also begin to talk about adjectives and how to conjugate them in sentences. Lessons will continue to phase out using ローマ字 (Romaji) and 21 new 漢字 (Kanji) characters will be introduced.

This course will primarily be presented in PowerPoint format. The beginning of each class is usually spent reviewing characters and worksheets.  Next, we learn new kanji characters, vocabulary words, and sentence patterns. When necessary, time is also spent on grammar to help students understand the structure of new sentence patterns. Learning will be supplemented with activities such as flashcards, role-playing scenarios, listening exercises, and information-gap games.

Because this is part of a conversation-based language course, classes will be interactive by nature. Students will be expected to speak in class when prompted. This helps me properly assess what they have learned and give them tips for improvement. I try to vary speaking as a group, using the chatbox, and speaking one-on-one in my classes so that students do not feel like they are being put on the spot all the time. If your child feels uncomfortable unmuting themselves in class for short periods of time, this language series is probably not the right fit for them. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
