A Foreign Language for Your Homeschool

This post is the first in a series on homeschool foreign language learning. This series is designed to introduce you and your children to some foreign language options and help you narrow down which  language you want to focus on before investing any time or money on a curriculum.

Have you thought about teaching your children a foreign language in your homeschool? Before you make a decision on what language your children should learn, give them a taste of several languages. Here is a first Japanese lesson for you (HT The Informed Parent). It is very entertaining.

I like how this particular lesson engages the viewer. I think it would be appealing to teens because of the camera work and the tidbits about Star Wars. Using videos made in a similar style would make foreign language learning more interesting for your children (and you, for that matter!).

I hope this taste of Japanese helps you and your children decide if it is a langauge you are interested in learning!
