Japanese for Teens is an online video course designed for children aged 12 to 17 years old who are new to Japanese. Lessons are presented through short video lessons covering a wide variety of topics, such as family, daily activities, and numbers to tell time and to count different objects.
Lesson instruction is given in both English and Japanese to enable students to gradually build their speaking and listening skills. Romanized Japanese writing and hiragana are used throughout the course to ease learning and develop students’ hiragana reading skill.
The speed of the videos can be adjusted to suit student’s preference. The quality of the videos can also be adjusted to match student’s internet speed.
