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.
We covered slides 10 and 11 of MDJ L9 (い-adjectives).
We reviewed how to write the kanji for the days of the week (月〜日), writing them together and checking the basic stroke order rules: left to right, and top to bottom. We also introduced 〜なければ いけません, 〜なきゃいけない, and 〜なきゃ.
We then looked at the overall picture of い-adjectives — the seven forms they have — and went through some adjectives as vocabulary, focusing on three opposite pairs: たかい ⇔ やすい, おおきい ⇔ ちいさい, and あつい ⇔ さむい. We did not practice the conjugation patterns this time.
Porsche has been using the new expression 〜なければいけない in her diary entries.
Sample Sentences
★い-adjectives わたしの くるまは たかいです。 (My car is expensive.) ポッキーは やすいです。 (Pocky is cheap.)
★〜なければいけません (must / have to) あした はやく おきなければ いけません。 (I have to get up early tomorrow.) もう かえらなきゃ! (I have to go home now! — casual)
Next lesson: homework review, then L9 slide 12 onward (practicing the adjective forms).
