All the Things I Still Don’t Know
Written by Janine Alvarado. Original post appears here. Tonight my daughter came home with homework of fill-in-the-blank words, where they give you a picture and maybe a “letter” (or in our case, a syllable) or two as a hint. These assignments are new as she’s starting to advance in learning her hiragana. Some words I’ve just typed into the dictionary, and together we learn a new word. The problem is when… Read More »All the Things I Still Don’t Know

July 2020 Orientation and Training Week
This year’s Orientation and Training week looked a lot different from previous years, but it was still a success!
