[quote=Anonymous]I don’t speak the language but DS seems to have learned enough that Japanese in 7th grade required some effort but was not super hard for him. The kids entered MS Japanese knowing the alphabets, or at least with a strong level of familiarity, and a good amount of basic vocabulary. More importantly, it was a class he had to work on in ES and MS, it was a challenge for him. We deferred LIV for the language and are happy with our choice. The informational meeting we attended back in K flat out said that the kids would not be fluent in the language at the end of ES. They clearly said in our session that they don’t focus on the grammar in the ES program, that came in MS. The program was more about introducing the language in the same way the kids learned English at home before school. They heard it being used, learned the sounds and words in context, and learned how th write the alphabets and basic words and the like.[/quote]
