Hello
Any recommendation on activities or classes to expose my 3 years old kid to Japanese?

You may let your kid to watch some anime manga series like doraemon in original language.

There are some Kindergartens that take in Japanese kids, these kids have lessons in Japanese. Some may have it as a language enrichment. You may also let him play Duolingo on your handphone.[/quote]

The question is not whether your kid is Japanese. The question is more of - do you or your spouse speak Japanese? If yes, just converse with him naturally in that language all the time and he will get it eventually. If not, there's no point in pushing Japanese unless he gets really interested in some comics like Doraemon.

Oh, they don’t have to be Japanese Kindergaten. There are regular kindergartens that have small classes for Japanese kids. And they also provide Japanese as an enrichment.

Do allow your kid to use the app with adult supervision and limit the amount of time base on his age. And yes, Xiao ding dang is useful for kids learning Japanese as well.

I have subscript to the channel \"NHK world premium\" in StarHub TV, there are news and TV Drama Series broadcast everyday. You may consider to subscript this channel if you think it helps to expose your kid to Japanese language.

My personal favourite is the "Ask Japanese" YouTube channel. Their content consists of street interviews of random people in Japan. A great and free way to immerse yourself in the culture and language without travelling there!
