Japanese

Today we were lucky enough to have Fleur Karasawa, the Japanese teacher from St Mary's school, come and teach a lesson around classroom objects. We have been looking at the differences between New Zealand and Japanese schools and had begun learning some of the classroom objects ourselves, so it was great to have an expert come and help us with the pronunciation.
Japanese language and Maori language both have similar vowels and pronunciation sounds, so we are linking the two languages. Soon we will be able to recall the names for classroom objects in Maori, Japanese and English! Check out the photos and video below of us learning these words.
