Young minds are amazing. My 6 year old, Alejandro, is already reading…in Japanese and English! WOW! When we went to see his coach and practice his speech for the contest, the coach wrote his speech in English lettering. He asked her if she would change it to Japanese lettering because Alejandro prefers to read in Japanese. Still he loves to read and write in both languages. Alejandro also sees a tutor to help further his understanding of the Japanese language. Sometimes he would get worried that he did not know enough Japanese to stay in his Yochien. His tutor is very happy at how fast Alejandro is learning the language. Also, ever since Alejandro placed first in the speech contest he has had much more confidence in how much he knows Japanese.
I’m truly impressed with all that your boys are doing and learning. Tell them both that I am incredibly impressed and proud of them.
I”m also impressed at all the opportunities that you are providing them. This cultural experience will continue to bless them for their entire lives.
Alejandro is getting so big! I can tell from your pictures with him in the yard. So amazing, but good. I am also impressed with Alejandro’s willingness to learn Japanese and the way he already is excelling in it. I believe like Jason it will bless them very much to have this cultural experience.
Thank you for all you do to give your boys so many good things to do and to be so happy about. They smile so much!!
