Teaching Kanji – 1st the Japanese sounds


Thanks to Marcelo Bayma for sharing this!

Begin with japanese sound. Each symbol has an equivalent sound in japanese, for example, “yama”.

Told her you are showing japanese words. Show the cards and read the word in japanese. In this stage there’s no problem about multiple meanings, ok?

A word is a body & soul entity and it is necessary to learn it in a whole. Imagine when teaching italian: first you read in the original sound. When you have finished the cards, then you can try a 2nd depth.

Teaching 4 languages and My Experience


Thanks to Teresa for sharing her personal method for teaching her 3 year old son 4 different languages!

My son knows 4 languages and is almost 3.5 years old. He tests at a 5-year+ level in English and Spanish, he is at his age-level with ASL (American Sign Language), and I estimate he is at a two-year-old level with Mandarin Chinese. I understand that the most important years with languages is 0-3 and then 3-6. So I have made languages a priority for us.
