Since Yana has been at hoikuen for about a month and a half now, I thought I would write about her language progress. My plan is to do this every so often, to keep track of how she's doing.
We don't really do much in the way of studying at home. Everything she has learned has been from hoikuen, daily interaction with people [herself or watching us/others], or watching Japanese TV.
Words she knows:
konnichiwa [hello]
ohayou gozaimasu [good morning]
sayounara [good bye]
kawaii [cute]
baka [idiot]
dame [bad]
itai [ouch]
itadakimasu [let's eat]
ichi, ni, san [1, 2, 3]
-chan [used to address friends]
She also sings tunes which she's obviously learned at school, and some of the sounds she makes seem like words or Japanese sounds, but mostly its just blabbering. She may also know some other words, but this is just what I hear from her at home.
Anyway, this is a pretty short update, but I'm hopeful she'll catch on quickly, as she's already learned this much from just a month and a half.
