One week later and we have another lesson! Review:
Teach:
Homework:
So I've begun tutoring my friend in Japanese and I thought it would be a good idea, before I get too far into it, to start keeping track of what worksheets I use and my general lesson plan for each time. So here's number 1. Things covered:
Here's the worksheet:
Let me know what you think!
One method of studying vocab and kanji for Japanese class was the notecard method. You make notecards of all of the kanji (one per notecard) and keep going through them, quizzing yourself on one side and checking yourself with the other, and shuffling after completing the deck. This was great. For my short-term memory. After the test, I would promptly forget them because I needed to make room (in my short-term memory) for the next batch of words or characters. It was frustrating to me (and I'm sure my teachers) that I couldn't remember what certain kanji or Japanese words meant, even though I recognized them. Well, I'm here to tell you what I think the solution is. Now, by all means, if you can retain things via the notecard method, please feel free to continue to do so. But for other people, here's an alternative. i I am currently waiting in line at Walmart. I figured I would write a short post while I am waiting just to prove to myself that I have so much time in my day that I am not using properly.
Have you ever found yourself just sitting and watching countless hours of videos or aimlessly scrolling through Pinterest or Facebook? How much better could we potentially make our lives if we took that time to instead do something for the betterment of ourselves or the world? You may be thinking: how could I make the world better with the few minutes I spend online? Easy. Post something positive. For example(s): I love my friends. I am glad I have music in my life. Thank you to the person who smiled at me today in the store. Or you could share a picture of a cute cat or dog or other thing that made you smile. There are never enough of those things on news feeds these days. That being said,. I'd like to thank you for stopping and visiting my site today! And I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 😘 When I first saw this magazine I was completely offended. I cannot believe that society has come this far to tell women they need to be a size zero or have zero belly fat. I thought we were on to the phase of accepting who we are and trying to be the best version of ourselves?! What happened? So, this is going to be an unconventional blog rant for me because it has been on my mind for quite a while and I wanted to get it out there and to get other people's opinions on the matter. That being said, this post will not be about Japan much at all, but about society in general.
Living in the midwest all of my life has not prepared me for the wide variety of sea life that is available for consumption. Therefore, when I went to Japan and wandered around the supermarket, I was totally flabbergasted by the sheer variety of fish available. Now that I am back in the U.S., hopefully I can shed some light on what kinds of fish you might see in the markets if you are in Japan. A few days ago, my teaching license came in the mail! It was great to finally have that hard-copy of my accomplishment of passing the Praxis II exam for English. When it arrived, and also when I saw my score online, I had feelings of relief. I no longer had to take more classes to obtain the teaching license, even though I had already taught in Japan and as a substitute teacher for Japanese (and other classes, but for some of the Japanese classes, I was able to make my own lesson plans because of how close I was to the teachers).
However, now I have feelings of the test being too easy... |
