Overview

• Are your kids having a hard time with school homework and you can't help them out?
• Thousands of foreign children and teenagers, studying in Japanese schools, have problems mainly because they don't master the language of the country where they live. Perhaps the explanation given by the teacher has not been properly understood by the student due to language issues. 

• In Japan there are a large number of non-Japanese children, who have recently moved to Japan and have enrolled in Japanese schools without knowing enough Japanese in order to follow the classes. Many parents think it is only a matter of time for their children to learn Japanese because they think they will have Nihongo (Japanese lessons) all day long. However, that's the problem: Japanese schools do not have "Nihongo" (Japanese Language) as school subject.

  There is a subject called "Kokugo", instead, which means "National Language".  

  That means they are two completely different things. 

• Nihongo is aimed at teaching Japanese to foreigners (non-native speakers). In this case the methodology used compares languages. It is taught how to make sentences, join phrases, learn new words and grammatical structures.
• On the other hand, Kokugo is aimed at natives who already know how to speak, form sentences, express themselves, etc. So what is Kokugo's focus? Reading and interpretation. From an early age, Japanese people learn to read and understand (interpret) what they are reading. For that they have to learn, besides writing (Hiragana, Katakana, Romaji and Kanji), how to read and understand correctly.
