Genki Japanese hip hop songs for parents and kids

Genki Japanese | Program overview | Parent guide | Curriculum

The following songs will help your children remember through rhythm and repetition.


genki japanese logoThese specially designed songs distill the key Japanese you need into short, simple, snappy songs that drill into your brain, just like the most annoying hits on the radio!

Japanese based education guru Richard Graham wrote and produced the songs in Japan and is a household name in the education industry throughout Asia and said “I've taken all the best ideas I used to get fluent in Japanese and made these unique songs to make learning easy and fun”.

Several of these songs cover subject matter within our Kool Kids – Genki Japanese learning units. Numbers, colours, expressing preferences, weather and basic adjectives are addressed.

These songs will be introduced to the children throughout the course as the subject matter advances. We will report which songs are being used at which time so as to allow you to practice with your children.

We love the songs and materials from genkijapan.net and highly recommend their site for a clear insight into how you can expedite not only your Japanese ability, but also tips on education for young children from a Japanese perspective.

These songs are: Great to sing in the car; Great to use to reinforce vocabulary retention; A great way to empower the children by having them explain the songs; Great for multi-person interaction home study.

So let’s sing and learn together!

Arigatou & Genki Da Ne!
