Students hear and say the same phrases every lesson, so confidence builds quickly. A short worksheet after oral practice gives every student something concrete to do, including quieter learners who need a quieter path in. Use greetings to set classroom routines too: how you start the lesson, how students greet a partner, and how they respond when the teacher enters. Once that habit is in place, later topics (numbers, colours, animals) feel like the next step, not a brand new subject. > **Tip:** keep the first session mostly oral. The worksheet works best as practice or a fast-finisher after students have heard and said the phrases with you. ## Prep to Year 2 Japanese LOTE (Australian classrooms) This free pack and the related levels are aimed at **Prep to Year 2** (Foundation to Year 2) Japanese in Australian primary classrooms.
