Japanese

Repetition + frequency = memory

How many times do you need a new word repeated to make it easy to say at anytime?

For me it is around 100 times. Research suggests that it is between 20 and 500 times, we are all really different.

The memory curve shows that frequency of repetition is also vital!

Could you use a little Japanese at home?

This is what we have been practicing.

ありがとう。

Arigatou.

Thank you. (informal)

What things does your child ask for? Food? Things when shopping? Clothes? Toys? Could you encourage them to ask for it in Japanese? Could you ask them too?

Let us know what you say and how it goes.

May God continue to bless and guide us in our work
