Thank you so much for attending your first trial lesson today! I was so surprised and impressed by how much Japanese you already know! Since you already know a lot of Japanese, the beginning might feel like a lot of review for you, but let's enjoy studying Japanese together!
This review covers fundamental greetings, self-introductions, classroom Japanese, number tricks, and your Hiragana homework!
1. Self-Introduction (はじめまして)
Follow this 5-step flow when introducing yourself in Japanese:
Step 1: First Greeting ・はじめまして。 (Hajimemashite.) = How do you do? / Nice to meet you.
Step 2: Name ・わたしは [ Name ] です。 (Watashi wa [ Name ] desu.) = I am [ Name ]. * Example: わたしは ジェーンです。 (I am Jane.)
Step 3: Nationality Attach 〜じん (~jin) to a country name: ・[ Country ] じんです。 ([ Country ] jin desu.) = I am [ Nationality ]. * アメリカじん です。 (I am American.) * にほんじん です。 (I am Japanese.)
💡 Expressing Understanding: ・Q: わかりますか。 (Wakarimasu ka?) = Do you understand? * A (Yes): はい、わかります。 (Hai, wakarimasu.) = Yes, I understand. * Example: すうじ わかります! (I understand numbers!) * A (No): いいえ、わかりません。 (Iie, wakarimasen.) = No, I don't understand.
4. Japanese Numbers (すうじ) & Sound Tricks
* すうじ かんぺき! (Numbers were perfect!)
0: rei / zero -> Sounds like "lay" 1: ichi -> Sounds like "itchy" 2: ni -> Sounds like "knee" 🦵 3: san -> Sounds like "sun" ☀️ 4: yon / shi -> Sounds like "she" 5: go -> Sounds like "go" 🚶♂️ 6: roku -> Sounds like "rock" 🎸 7: nana / shichi -> Sounds like ba"nana" 🍌 8: hachi -> Sounds like "hatch" 9: kyuu / ku -> Sounds like the letter "Q" 10: jyuu -> Sounds like "jui"ce 🧃 100: hyaku
