How to Use the
Tuttle MORE Japanese for Kids Flash Cards
Introduction
Only 128 of the most useful words are included in Tuttle Japanese for Kids Flash Cards and Tuttle MORE Japanese for Kids Flash Cards. This bitesized introduction to the Japanese language is ideally suited for children, and older learners, who want to quickly grasp the basics of Japanese vocabulary and pronunciation.
The audio and over 250 example sentences help to bring the words to life, and make learning them more enjoyable. Plus, there are popular children’s songs and traditional Japanese children’s games included. This natural, age-appropriate approach will have your child building his or her vocabulary with ease, and perhaps teaching you before long!
Using the Flash Cards Creatively
Since young children are still learning to read their own language it is generally not a good idea to have them try to learn another language by reading it. Rather, they should hear and use the new words many times in meaningful contexts, such as listening to the audio , singing songs, and playing games. The suggestions below offer several ways to help your child or student make the most of these flash cards.
• At first you may want to hold the flash cards for your child or students, and turn them one at a time, while listening to the audio . Don’t try to show all the cards at once. Begin instead with one topic (for example, “Nature”) and view them while listening to the audio several times.
• Once the child is familiar with the words in that topic, have a little fun with them before moving on. For example you might lay the flash cards out on the floor or table, and have the child pick up one card at a time while you say the word (or play the audio ). If there is more than one child, you can let them compete to see who can pick up the correct card first. This will not only help the children remember the words, but it will also reinforce the idea that learning is fun.
• As the child gains familiarity with them you may begin drilling the flash cards. Show the child a flash card, and let him or her say the word in Japanese. If he or she cannot remember the word, say it and put the card in a pile of flash cards to review later. If the child can say it put the card in a separate pile of flash cards that the child has mastered. Then go back
