Japanese Class Information
Children/Youth Classes
For young beginner learners, we work on basic greetings, pronunciation and basic words such as colors, numbers, days of the week etc. We begin learning hiragana (and later katakana) through workbooks, online tools, games, crafts, songs, flash cards and apps. We meet in person in Falls Church, VA or on zoom.
Private lessons are scheduled weekly, they are usually 1 hour, but can be modified for the needs of the children/youth.
Group lessons may meet once a quarter.
Textbooks; Japanese from Zero 1, 2 and 3, while supplementing with other texts as needed.
Adult Classes
Most adults who come for lessons have had some Japanese instruction before, either self-study or in a classroom.
We build on what they already have:
Review: grammar, vocabulary, sentence structure, reading, kanji
Build on: listening, speaking and writing skills
Most students prefer to use a textbook, but it is not necessary for those who already know the basics. We often use the following books:
GENKI I & II
Japanese for Busy People I, II & II
Marugoto (online and paper books - all levels)
JLPT prep books
Kanji books
Grammar dictionaries
and many more!
