西大和学園土曜補習校に通い始めて３週間。いろいろあったけれど、親子ともに次第にペースが掴めてきました。昨日戻ってきた漢字テスト。息子は100点。娘は７点満点の６点。毎週、６個づつ新しい漢字を勉強します。一週間かけて少しづつ覚えても、実生活で使う機会があまりないので、このテストをした後はすぐに忘れてしまうのだけれど、ほんの10％でも体の中に残っていればと思いがんばって勉強を続けます。It's been three weeks since kids started with Nishiyamato Academy Saturday Japanese School. We had a rough start, but now kids and us parents both feel more comfortable with the new routine. The kanji (Japanese characters) tests they took a week ago came home yesterday. He got 100%. She got 6 out of 7. Every week, they have six new Kanjis they are supposed to master. Probably right after the test, they quickly forget those Kanjis. That's the reality, since they do not use them in the daily life. If 10% stays on with them, I should be happy. Perseverance makes the difference. We keep going.
