I'm sorry that both of us, my partner and I, had a tight work schedule last week and couldn't find time to get together for the assignments.
Here come the slides I would use for my session. Once again, I recycled one of my materials, this time a video...

Thank you. When I studied Japanese I tried to learn it written in Japanese. Hiragana, katakana and kanji as I was learning simple sentences. However, after a few months of doing it I noticed that I would not remember the words very well. Eventually I went back to Romanji (felt like a loser) but then my vocabulary memory improved a lot. So I tried to find books with Romanji. Am happy to share a great book here if I may, one which I liked lots.
ReplyDeleteI know it is rather an old book. amazon.com - Japanese for Beginners: Yasuo Yoshida, etc., Tetsuo Shibata: 9784051513108: Amazon.com: Books but I loved it.
ReplyDeleteHeike Philp You're most welcome when I start an online Japanese course in English. 😉
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to offer a Japanese course in English here in Sweden, but couldn't make it. No time slots for classroom teaching are left...
I'm planning an A1 course in Feb.. Focused on speaking or active skills. You learn Hiragana in Term 1 and then Katakana in Term 2 and kana reading practices in Term 3 & 4 (= my students have 4 terms to learn kana and I teach with Roma-ji). It'll be my first online course in ages.
Sorry to leave today's session earlier. Got to prepare for the coming week.
Heike Philp re: Japanese for beginners, a classic, aye? 😉
ReplyDeleteI use a Romanised version of a textbook series with heaps of my own materials. Because teaching Japanese to multilingual Europeans is quite different from teaching monolinguals...
Sue Sugizaki The female character looks exactly like you! I wished we could listen to the video. With the visual aid, it was very easy to understand the Japanese writing system.
ReplyDeleteYuko Kato -san, once I thought of recording my one-man show, but gave up. Felt so strange... 😅
