Year 1 Page
Welcome Year 1 Parents and Students, I have a real desire to share my love of Japanese with all students and parents. I work hard to make sure that your kids learn about the Japanese language and culture but also develop a love of learning. Our objectives are to use as much communicative, authentic Japanese as possible and introduce new words, grammatical patterns and culture through songs, games and hands-on activities. Please take time to enjoy this page with your child and don't hesitate to come and ask me some questions. Let's work together!
We are going to be learning some Hiragana this year! Hiragana is one of 3 Japanese scripts that Japanese kids learn. Hiragana is the first group of characters introduced to Japanese kids at kindergarten and school. There are 46 basic characters. I have created a system to help kids learn these characters through mnemonics (making up stories to help associate the character with a mental image).
Here is the Hiragana chart:
