Learn Japanese with the Flag of Sweden
Are you looking for a fun way to introduce Japanese characters to your children or students? Our “Nurie” (Japanese for coloring) sheets combine international awareness with language learning.
Japanese Language Spotlight: Katakana
In Japanese, foreign country names are written in a script called Katakana. On this worksheet, you will see “スウェーデン”, which is the Japanese phonetic spelling of Sweden.
- Su (ス): The first sound.
- We (ウェ): A combination of “U” and a small “e” to create the “we” sound.
- – (ー): A long vowel mark.
- De (デ): “Te” with a voiced mark (Dakuten).
- n (ン): The nasal “n” sound.
Why Use Flag Coloring for Learning?
Coloring is a meditative and engaging activity that helps in retaining new vocabulary. By focusing on the visual representation of the flag while seeing the Katakana characters, learners build a stronger cognitive connection between the word and the concept.
This printable is perfect for “International Days” at school, Japanese language classrooms, or homeschooling parents who want to add a cultural twist to their art lessons. Grab your blue and yellow markers and start your Japanese journey today!
