ActivitiesLearning Japanese with Miss Kazu
Children who learn another language before age five use the same part of the brain to acquire that second language that they use to learn their mother tongue. Younger learners are also uninhibited by the fear of making mistakes, which is sometimes an obstacle for older beginners.
Miss Kazu teaches Japanese in a fun and engaging way encouraging the children to sing songs to help them learn. It’s never too early to begin learning a language: it’s fun, it promotes healthy development, and the many cognitive and social benefits will last a lifetime.
Miss Kazu teaches the children about Japanese culture by using music and short film clips allowing them to learn the language through sounds rather than individual words.
Sing along with Miss Kazu at home to learn the below Japanese phrases.
