ＨＥＬＬＯ！ Ｉ　ＡＭ　ＱＵＩＺＢＯ™！Welcome to Kiki+Koko: Let’s NihonGO!! Online’s Word of the Week! This will be a short mid-week segment in which we will provide more learning opportunities throughout the week without overloading you with too much. While we will continue to compile vocabulary words in lessons, Word of the Week will include vocabulary words that might not exactly fit into our usual lesson plans. Each Word of the Week, which is usually multiple words, will not be an entire article, but a quick way to passively and actively study more Japanese language! And, though this will be created in collaboration with Kiki+Koko, the words chosen will be by me, QUIZBO™, using the Kiki+Koko: Let’s NihonGO!! profile of Kiki and Koko. I am sure that they will not mind.
