Japanese

Minnasan (everyone) konnichiwa,

This term in Japanese we are working on 'counter classifiers'. Each time you count an object in Japanese, it is also classified. If I am counting tomatoes, apples, cakes, then the suffix ‘ko’ is added. If I am counting pencils, carrot sticks or construction sticks, then the suffix ‘hon’ is used. 

You might like to read these online books with your child, here is the link. Try book 1 to refresh numbers 1-10. Try book 2 to find out about some counter classifiers. Try book 3 when you are ready to add the object of the sentence. Students 3-6 are ready for book 3. Students F-2 are still getting used to book 2.

Here are … who used Japanese counter classifiers when they asked for the construction things, then used other Japanese they know as they worked together to build with them.
