"Ask the Professional" Interview プロフェッショナルに聞く

We recently had an interview visit at Hana House from Sukusuku Noppo-kun (スクスクのっぽくん).  The homepage features interviews with various well known professionals who share advice and ideas about raising children ("生きる力"の育て方).  The article is only in Japanese but you can read it (or use a translator to try to read it!) here (英語で学び、”自然と多言語の中で育つ”環境を).

TV Air Date

ハイディー先生がハナハウスで教えているベビー・サイニングタイム・クラスがテレビに出るそうです！4月8日（月）午後11時～放送のテレビ東京「ワールド ビジネス サテライト」 （http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/wbs/）の特集の中で。

In a post earlier this week I mentioned thy we had a TV crew visit Hana House to get some footage of siging babies/toddlers for an upcoming show. The show is World Business Satalite on TV Tokyo and it is set to air on April 8th at 11 PM.  They can't promise that we'll be on the show but it seems that we're still in the plan for the show!

TV Time

Yesterday I had a "class" at Hana House for the benefit of a TV show that wanted to catch kids signing and talk about the business end of things. Not sure if the report will be aired but it was an interesting 5 hours!

 

If it does get aired I'll post the info here :-)

If you haven't heard already, Signing Time products are being Japanized and released in Japan. It is an ongoing project and one which I've been involved in in various ways. This project has been taking up some of my "free" time but it is interesting to see how everything is coming together. If you want to know more there is information & updates on the Kotoba & Sign page, blog, Facebook and Twitter.

Sorry the article is not online but you can pick up the paper at newsstannds in Japan this week! Oh, and the acticle is only in Japanese but the pictures are bilingual ;-)
