This weekend I am happy to announce that I have finally started formal Japanese lessons with Ryan. I had been planning it since the start of the year and was putting it off as I did not have the time to prepare the materials for it.

I realised that it would take forever to get fully prepared and I should start with whatever resources I had at hand. With links to some upbeat youtube videos we started with singing songs of counting 1-20.

We will be progressing to writing in Hiragana in his next weekly lesson. He has already been taught the pronunciations in Hiragana since he was 2yrs old.(Am starting this with Roy at the moment)
Ryan enjoyed listening and singing along with the song. It is great that he has such a positive attitude towards learning this 4th language which I am introducing him.

What languages have you introduced to your kids?

Weekend Linky – Attitude of Gratitude

Dominique Recommendations awards

This week I am very honored to receive this award – Attitude of Gratitude from Denise of WAHM-Articles

Denise has helped me a lot in getting me interested in article writing and introducing me to many wonderful people in the blog sphere.

When I began blogging on my own domain in 2008 I was rather new to community building and establishing my online presence. Denise was one of the person that I was following to learn how to network and increase traffic to my site.

I won many great prizes from posting at her forums and taking part in her competitions at WAHM-Articles. I learned about e-book marketing through participating in her “Saving Christmas E-book”.

I have yet to really “explode ” myself online through the launch of my own e-book and really hope to be able to do it by December this year.

I’m still learning as I go along in the blogsphere and have a lot to learn about the in and out of blogging. It is not as easy as it seems and there is still a long path for me to go one to become a successful blogger.
