3rd and 6th grade students

Based in New Hampshire, USA

There is no Japanese supplementary school in the state where my family lives, and it takes two and a half hours to get to the nearest supplementary school by car. I was doing distance learning at home, but only my parents spoke Japanese, and with club activities and homework at the local school in the United States becoming busy, it was becoming difficult to keep them motivated to study Japanese. . When I went to the nearby consulate to receive textbooks, I learned about the existence of this supplementary school where you can learn Japanese textbooks online. Encounters with classmates who are also struggling to maintain their Japanese in the United States were stimulating, and the children's passion for the Japanese language was lit.

Even though both my husband and I were working, we couldn't volunteer there even if we sent him to the local supplementary school, and it was difficult for us to take him to the supplementary school every Saturday in our home where we often gather at my parents-in-law's house nearby on weekends. . The advantage of taking Japanese supplementary lessons online is that you can take classes from anywhere you are traveling or anywhere you have a laptop and Wi-Fi. I started when I was in 3rd grade, but now in 5th grade, I'm getting into the habit of opening my computer and doing my homework by myself to prepare for the next class.

It took more than two hours by car from my house to a local supplementary school nearby, and during the winter it was snowing and driving was difficult, so I went there for a while, but I gave up. When I was attending school, once I entered the classroom, I didn't know what my son was doing and how he was learning. I like that I can do my studies, and during the winter I'm busy with ice hockey games, so I can have my classes recorded and I can continue my studies along with my homework.

The local supplementary school is overwhelmingly full of permanent residents (permanent residents in the United States without having to go back to Japan).To be honest, the vocabulary and other things are completely different from our children who have been in Japan all the way up to junior high school. It was clear that there were very few Even so, my child does not have the option of continuing to live in the United States, and even if he returns to Japan, he will be required to have the same Japanese language ability as Japanese children, so I was worried about how to maintain it. I met a supplementary school. I had a veteran Japanese teacher living in Japan see my child who had to go back to Japan and take high school entrance exams. There is no cram school for exams here, so I was able to ask for advice on what to do and hear about the current Japanese exam information from the field. I also checked the past exam questions of the entrance exam school and had classes based on it. Thanks to that, I passed the school of my choice and entered a Japanese high school.

As a mother, I am away from home due to work. The child lives in Chicago with his American father and watches homework and reading textbooks after daily video chats on Google Hangouts. In addition to being able to take classes in an environment like ours where Japanese language education is difficult, you can do your homework online together. It is also possible to turn off the screen and sound in class, so you can observe your child's class at any time. think.

I was on the waiting list for 4 years at a Japanese supplementary school nearby, but I couldn't get in for a long time. At the same time as I was waiting for when I would be able to enter the school, I felt impatience because I was lagging behind the Japanese children in the 3rd and 4th grades. I started to know that I can take supplementary classes online. I think that there are many other children who want to go to a supplementary school but cannot. I think that this kind of service is epoch-making and convenient, and I think it will be more useful in the future.
