1ļøā£Speaking class
Many people think their spoken language is poor because they can't speak well or articulate their thoughts. In reality, it's because they can't listen or ask questions, which means their communication skills are lacking.
Many students think their spoken Japanese is poor because they haven't memorized enough vocabulary and grammar, but in reality, spoken Japanese conversations are completely different from textbooks; they are ever-changing.
Text to translate: ć»Textbooks are dead, but the Japanese person you are talking to in real conversations is alive, and you can communicate with them.
The main problem with poor spoken language is actually just one thing: not understanding.
Either what you say is not understood by others, or what others say is not understood by you.
Then if it's something you say that others don't understand
Then, for example,
Use English words for assistance.
Or use translation software.
Or, to put it another way.
Or use more expressions and gestures.
If others can't understand me
Then, first, you can let others help each other reduce the difficulty.
Or you can ask specifically about which sentence, which part, or which word you don't understand.
Or maybe confirm with him if your understanding is correct.
So the main goal of my speaking class is to focus on improving students' communication skills.
Will use. First, will use AI to combine students' goals and levels to generate conversation materials.
Students will also be allowed to use real-time subtitles and translation software for assistance.
So when you really can't understand or can't speak, you can use Chinese and English to assist. The fundamental purpose is to free students from memorizing vocabulary and grammar, allowing them to focus their main energy on improving their communication skills.
My speaking class is most suitable for those students who have already begun to understand that their speaking ability is not poor because they haven't memorized enough vocabulary or their grammar isn't good enough, but because their communication skills are lacking.
2ļøā£Exam preparation courses (JIPT and other exams)
Many students who want to get good scores on the JIPT think they can't pass or do well because
I don't remember enough vocabulary and grammar.
In reality, it was during the exam that I didn't have a good sense of how to approach the questions and lacked effective exam strategies.
The essence of doing exercises is not to be passively checked by the question setter, nor is it about mechanically doing exercises.
Instead, they actively engage in a contest with the question setter.
For example
Many native Chinese-speaking students often find the listening and grammar questions difficult in the JIPT.
Many test-takers often think that they do poorly on listening questions because they haven't listened enough or have a limited vocabulary, but these reasons are not the main factors.
The key to listening comprehension is to first carefully read the questions and analyze the test maker's intentions.
Use your limited listening comprehension skills to grasp the key vocabulary in the listening dialogue.
The relationship between the two parties in the conversation, their attitudes.
Finally, roughly estimate the overall flow of the conversation and make a judgment.
This way, you can avoid nervousness as much as possible in the exam room and maximize your performance efficiently.
The key to grammar questions is also to first analyze the intention of the questioner.
And step outside the sentence itself, imagine the context, the situation, and the relationship between the two parties in the conversation.
Finally, make a judgment by considering the Japanese way of thinking and cultural habits.
So my exam preparation courses (like JIPT and other exam courses) are suitable for those students who feel they have already memorized a lot of vocabulary and learned a lot of grammar, but their exam scores are still not ideal.
The main issue with these exams is not in vocabulary and grammar, but in exam strategies and problem-solving mindset.
3ļøā£ Children's class (ages 9 to 18)
When children learn Japanese, the main issue is not the number of words they know, nor their speaking ability.
Many parents send their children to offline Japanese language institutions early on or find Japanese teachers for them early, but often, even if the children can learn some basic Japanese expressions in class, once they leave the teacher and stop attending classes, their Japanese skills will naturally decline.
The reason is simple: because the child doesn't need to use Japanese in daily life.
What can we do? Guiding children to watch Japanese videos is about fostering an interest and habit of learning Japanese through the internet (mainly using mobile phones).
Now, people all over the world are in the information age. Even us adults spend our time scrolling through our phones, and often feel guilty after watching short videos. The same goes for children, who also play on their phones, and it's impossible to control.
Since children will inevitably end up playing with their phones, why not turn this around and use it to guide them to learn the endless Japanese content available online (videos, anime, music, etc.)?
In my children's Japanese class, I will use AI to create dialogues based on the children's daily lives, so that students can first understand and comprehend them.
As long as the child can understand and comprehend Japanese, and the content is related to their daily interests, when they come across Japanese-related information (videos, games, anime, etc.) on their phone, the child will naturally explore and absorb it on their own. As long as parents can pay attention to this step, both teachers and parents will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
