Today, we practiced many verb conjugations, including the present form, past form, negative form, and past negative form. You did a great job with all of them and were able to use the different forms very accurately.
わたしは まいにち べんきょうします。(present) watashi wa mainichi benkyou shimasu I study every day. わたしは きのう べんきょうしました。(past) watashi wa kinou benkyou shimashita I studied yesterday.
わたしは きょう べんきょうしません。(negative) watashi wa kyou benkyou shimasen I do not study today. / I will not study today.
わたしは きのう べんきょうしませんでした。(past/negative) watashi wa kinou benkyou shimasen deshita I did not study yesterday.
After that, we practiced making sentences using particles. You created many good sentences, such as:
わたしは テレビを みます watashi wa terebi o mimasu I watch TV
ひろさんは ほんを よみます Hiro san wa hon o yomimasu Hiro reads a book
It was a lot of fun practicing together!
Thank you also for sharing so many songs with me today. The songs from Dragon Ball and Naruto are very famous, aren't they? Listening to them made me want to sing at karaoke! Thank you for letting me hear such wonderful songs.
I was also surprised to learn that you like Choudenji Machine Voltes V! It was interesting to hear about your favorite songs and anime today.
Thank you again for coming to class today. I look forward to seeing you in the next lesson!
Hello Adam san, Thank you for taking a class with me! We learned the expression ~ ekimasu, to describe why you go to a place. Let's learn it more in the next class! See you soon! Have a good dream. Ayako
Thank you for joining the lesson. You talked about rescuing a cat and shopping at a Japanese supermarket (Mitsuwa Marketplace). Just as American products are expensive in Japan, Japanese products are expensive in the United States as well. If you visit Mitsuwa Marketplace again, please try some Japanese products that catch your interest. My recommendations are Marutai Ramen and Sato Kirimochi rice cakes.
Thank you for attending the lesson. As output practice, you talked about having brunch with your friends. In Japanese, we use the word “tomodachi” for both one friend and multiple friends. Basically, Japanese does not distinguish between singular and plural forms. As practice for the expression “te-form + kudasai,” you explained how to make crepes.
