A fun and kid-friendly introduction to Japanese!

The Tuttle MORE Japanese for Kids Flash Cards kit is an introductory Japanese language learning tool specially designed to help children from preschool through early elementary level acquire basic words, Japanese kanji, phrases, and sentences in Japanese in a fun and easy way.

The flashcards can be used as a learning tool in a classroom setting, at home, or anywhere that learning takes place, and can easily be taped around the room for an interactive way to learn Japanese. The set contains a total of 64 words organized into thematic categories, including: Nature, Weather, Opposites, Actions, Things I Like To Do, At My House, and Going to Different Places. All of the words are illustrated—the pictures serve as effective visual aids to help children learn and remember each word's meaning. Words often reflect cultural objects and items and can be studied in any order. Learners may focus on one theme at a time or mix them up for a little more variety.

Also included in this kit is an audio CD which provides native pronunciation of the words, and sample sentences for practice—sentences that children would use in everyday life. Songs and other activities are also included on the free audio CD. Finally, the kit also includes a wall chart featuring the front of each card for kids to review and a learning guide for teachers and/or parents with tips, activities and more!

If your child is really interested in learning more words, and you missed the first kit, check out the Tuttle Japanese for Kids Flash Cards kit (978-4-8053-0904-9).

Review:

"I love that Hazel gets to hear the word how it is suppose to be pronounced and not just my interpretation of it. The learning guide also has games and activities to try in Japanese to help learn some of the words in a different way and the words to the four songs in English and Japanese." —Crafty Moms Share blog
