PCJLS プリンストン日本語学校 JASL1の教室へようこそ

Thank you

This is our last blog due to a conflict with my other schedules.
Thank you for reading the progress of our class and JASL1 will resume the sessions on every Sunday. If you are interested in learning or teaching Japanese at Princeton Community Japanese Language School, please contact the office at (609)683-5080 or find us at http://www.pcjls.org.

Happy New Year!

Students completed Katakana letters and we started learning Hiragana today. (As you know, there are 3 characters in Japanese; Katakana, Hiragana, Kanji). I would like to say “Thank you” for coming to our holiday party. Hope all of you had a great time and wishing you peace, joy, and happiness throughout the New Year!

There won’t be a class on 12/26/10. Classes resume on January 2, 2011 and on this Sunday, JASL students will have an annual New Year's calligraphy class taught by a local calligraphy master (conducted in English) from 1:00-2:30 pm. JASL 1 students are going to write "うさぎ(rabbit)" since next year is the Year of the Rabbit, according to the Chinese (and Japanese) zodiac.

School Play

Thank you so much for coming to the SchoolPlay. Students have worked very hard to prepare for this event and it was not possible without your continuous support at home.

School Play

Jasl1 students have been busy preparing for the school play. The play is scheduled for Sunday, December 12th. Students have worked very hard to prepare for this event and I’m proud of the progress that they have made this year.

Verbs

There are old saying in Japanese for fall. “Autumn of sports, reading, art and appetite.” We enjoy the most comfortable climate in fall in Japan. It is popular time for sports, a good time to read books, enjoy fine arts, and also called “the season for a big appetite” since many seasonal farm products are available.
Students learned verbs, nomimasu (drink), tabemasu (eat) today. We talked about their favorite drinks and at the class. Since children are doing excellent job mastering Katakana, I added an extra letter on our practice. There are 46 letters and we have 7 more to study after today’s lesson.
