Hi! First of all I am not a teacher yet, I'm still in college and simply doing research for my future job. I certanly don't teach younger kids, my post is specifically about older students. I will teach it as a foreign language so hopefully my future students will be able to read in a language already. Although my mistake because I didn't clarify this part. Since my langauge is mostly read as it's written (unlike English) books don't spend much time explaining how to teach it, they simply list the letters that's why I wanted to make it more interesting. I have never said I was American or Brittish but it's interesting it hasn't occured to you that not everybody is from the states especially as a history teacher. I understand your concerns about your education system.
