一起來學日文吧！日文初學者 4

In this 8-week class, students (ages 9-13) will start speaking Japanese from day one! We will meet once a week for eight weeks. On weeks one through seven, students will explore a new theme and on week 8 they will review from the previous weeks. By the end of the 8 weeks, students will be able to say ordinal numbers, name different types of transportation, and much more! Students will also be exposed to the Japanese hiragana system. They will see the vocabulary in both English and Japanese script along with romaji (using Roman letters to write Japanese words). This is just an introduction to the hiragana system and not a requirement for them to learn to read. Furthermore, they will learn phonetic pronunciation. It is vital that students feel welcome and excited about learning. While having fun, we will also practice good classroom etiquette. The class will be interactive, and students will get a chance to speak with one another and learn to do so in an orderly fashion. Using Total Physical Response (TPR) and props, I will engage students to make quick connections with words and phrases. Let’s get ready to learn and have fun!
