How to teach Dutch to a japanese kid? - Mesqueeb - 2010-10-05
Greeting my fellow language learners!
I seem to constantly stumble upon situations where I get the chance to meet Japanese people in my neighbourhood. And so it was through a series of fortunate events that I have recently got myself a small side-job as to teach Dutch to a 9 year old chibi. Once a week for one/two hour(s).
He has only lived in Belgium about a year, and is still quite a newbie in Dutch... Which makes my job harder. (He's also quite shy.) I've tried reading some comics together, but it is quite hard it seems...
So here I am asking you guys some pointers! Any fun things I can do / use / apply?
I feel that with small kids it's no use to get started about anki... xP
Thanks and cheers!

Convince the kid to do Dutch homework without him knowing it's "homework". More specifically, get him to do something fun in Dutch while your not around. This should help a lot.
SRS is probably a bad idea for a kid, but you can try to make sure he gets repetition in some other fashion. Force review on him manually.
Like loonytik, I don't really know what will work. Just try things out and see what sticks.
Good luck.
