Japanese Classes
Konnichiwa! Introducing a 2nd language at a young age is extremely beneficial, as studies prove that it boosts problem-solving, critical-thinking, listening skills, and the list goes on! In this class, we don’t force children to “repeat after me”. Boo! Boring! We start off by getting them interested in the Japanese culture through songs, dance, games, and crafts! Then the language naturally flows into the brain. Our goal is to get them used to listening to Japanese, and for the children to want to learn MORE! Check out our different classes and levels offered!
