@edwardbellafan12321 It's a regular school that teaches a language as well via immersion method. Basically, the kids learn everything you learn in a typical school, but they also learn Japanese. The same principles could be applied to any language in any country in the world; it's a shame that this principle isn't used more often.
Kids these days only speak English, and it's very poor English at that... They could use the structure of a second language.
@Emhilradim I honestly wish I could've went here. Speaking of immersion, I'm considering a foreign exchange soon to Japan. Not considering, really. More like trying to convince my parents.
And I agree. I'm in eighth grade and we've been learning Spanish since kindergarten. And we all honestly suck at it. I really wanted to do German or French in highschool, but I figured that I should completely learn the language and stay w/ spanish. So I can be trilingual- spanish, english, and japanese :p
@aoiahiru I like the school, but on the subject of keeping immigrants cultures... The US when you think of it in relation to other countries... Well, imigration in other countries is pretty non existant. (Though there seems to be imigrants from other Asian countries in Japan, the social situation isn't very good for them, I hear.) I think we're ahead of the game when it comes to things like that. (I've only done so much research though.)
@leseanpayne Seriously? You think immigration is nonexistent in other countries? You need to get out more, or else pay attention to news from other countries. Europe has huge waves of immigration from South America, Africa, and Asia. If a country is comparatively wealthy, you can bet it has a lot of immigration from less-wealthy countries.
@laura098765432 Oh, I was talking mainly about Japan and some Asian. Durring my trips there I didn't cross many people of different races. I wouldn't know about anywhere else. Though I'm positive Europe has alot of immigration.
They are learning so much and it seems like all they are doing is having fun yet ! teachers seem to care about the students which helps a lot in the teaching process.
I think this school is able to do this becuase they have skilled teachers who can run the program...you cant have a language program at any school if you dont have teachers who can teach the language.
Also, given that this school is on the West Coast, they have the resources to have an extensive Japanese program, the Japanese population is higher on the West Coast where as on the East Coast we have more Chinese and Korean people.
This is really nice...they didnt have this when I was coming up! I am happy for this kids and I wish them success. I have been studying Japanese for 4 years now and I am 20 years old...just becuase you guys didnt have this when you were growing up DOESNT mean you cannot learn like these kids...you need to apply yourself..
I wish they had something like that when I was a kid. I was bilingual in English and German but my schools treated bilingualism as a disability. Consequently, I can't speak German with the fluency I did when I was 5. I have interest in languages and Japanese is one I'm particularly fond of. If I ever have kids I'd like to get them into a school like this and not what I was in.
Wow! That was the coolest ever. I wish a school like this was available for me while I was growing up. I am definitely interested in enrolling my kids at a school like this.
is this school only to teach japanese or is it a school that specalizes in it? why?
