Thank you for joining the last lesson of September. It was great to see you, and I’m glad you’re feeling better now.
In today’s lesson, we continued studying Chapter 7: how to ask for permission, and how to give positive and negative answers. For example: Printer wo tsukatte mo ii desu ka? (May I use the printer?) → Positive answer: Hai, ii desu. (Yes, it’s OK.) → Negative answer: Iie, ikemasen. (No, you may not.) → A strong refusal: Iie, dame desu. (No, you can’t.)
In this section, we also use the te‑form as the basic pattern.
In Intermediate 1, Chapters 6 and 7, we practice using verbs, changing their forms, asking questions, and learning how to answer them. You worked very hard today. Excellent job!
There will be no lesson next Tuesday, so I’ll see you on October 2. Stay well!
Today, we studied the ない-form in Lesson 8. In the next lesson, let’s practice making the ない-form from the ます-form even more. Please try using 「まずは」 and 「そのとおり」 from Intermission 2 in your conversations, too!
I’m looking forward to seeing you in next week’s lesson.
Thank you for coming to the lesson. As speaking practice, you talked about your plans for next week. We reviewed the meanings of the words that appeared up to page 11 of Chapter 1 of Volume 1 of Flying Witch. After that, we continued reading the manga aloud.
