Learning Japanese at St Catherine's
I wanted to find out what people think about learning Japanese at school.
I like Japanese because I like to lean new things BUT I don't like the tests. (Does anyone?) I think it is good that we have a teacher who is actually from Japan. We use our iPads to get ready for our tests. We have to trace the hiragana characters using the Hiragana app. We also use the Morfo 3D Face Booth app to record ourselves speaking in Japanese.
Here's what others think:
"I love Japanese because of the way Sensai (Mrs Flynn) teaches. I have learned a lot and I think this experience will help me when I go to Japan in June. The way Sensai teaches is fun and interesting. She teaches me so much instead of just repeating the basics."
"It's not my favourite subject. I find it hard but I like it when we get to play games."
An example of a game in Japanese is when Sensai shows us words we've just learned and we have to whack the correct word with the fly swatter. Fun fun fun!

| This is the ink that we used. |
 |
| This is the paper we use and we have to hold the brush like this. |
 |
| We practise on this special cardboard with water. |
 |
| We have to use good posture when we write. |
 |
| Now it is time to use real ink. |

| This is what our characters look like finished and on display. |
I'm always impressed when I sit in on a Japanese lesson... I can't understand a thing but the kids seem to know what's going on! We learnt French when I was at school. I can only remember how to count to ten ;(
ReplyDeleteLara thanks for your post. Sensai was so thrilled to see it! She was so happy to be able to show the pictures of your Japanese writing to her colleagues.
