In the end, it culminates in a game that reviews the vocabulary. All files are adjustable, so you can add or take away what you want. Words with a star* next to them indicate they are used FREQUENTLY in the Japanese language. Two stars** means it's VERY frequent.

ABOUT

I was an American teacher who did a cultural exchange between my class and Japanese schools, and I eventually went to Japan on an exchange program to visit their K-12 schools! I want to share all the interesting and relevant things I think our students want to know about Japan!
