Kana Power-Up Beginner Showdown: Let’s Learn and Grow Together! 🌸
The Origin of Kana Power-Up
Kana Power-Up was created as a monthly event designed for beginner students, born directly from the Zero Beginner Coaching Program. This event was created to help students boost their confidence in learning Japanese, particularly in mastering Hiragana and Katakana. We noticed that many beginners find it challenging to memorize and use these basic Japanese characters effectively, so we designed this event as a way to make practice engaging, social, and supportive.
The initiative started as a small activity, but it quickly became a helpful and beneficial event for students, evolving into a monthly showdown that brings everyone together for a shared learning experience. The goal? To make kana learning less intimidating and to provide a space where students can improve their skills while having fun.
What Happens During the Event?
During Kana Power-Up, students are divided into teams to tackle a series of kana challenges. These challenges include recognizing, reading, and writing Hiragana and Katakana characters. The event is structured as a friendly competition with three rounds, where each team works together to solve tasks as quickly and accurately as possible.
The October 30 showdown was a great success! Students cheered each other on, shared tips, and celebrated small wins together. The atmosphere was filled with excitement, laughter, and a genuine desire to learn. Even though some prizes were up for grabs, the main takeaway was the sense of achievement and the boost in confidence everyone gained from the experience.
