Today was our first lesson together. Thank you for sharing so many things you're interested in about Japan. It was a very enjoyable lesson, and I had a wonderful time talking with you. I'm already looking forward to seeing you again in next week's lesson!
Today, we reviewed both i-adjectives and na-adjectives. There were many different forms to remember, including the negative form, past form, and past negative form, so it was quite challenging. However, you did a great job recalling the patterns and using them correctly.
Being able to use i-adjectives and na-adjectives will greatly expand the range of expressions you can use in Japanese. They are very important grammar points for everyday communication, so let's continue practicing them together.
Thank you again for joining today's lesson. I look forward to studying with you again next week!
Thank you for the lesson today! Great work finishing up 位置ことば from L5, and diving into L6 とき — you picked up the months and days of the week really smoothly! It's wonderful to see your progress every lesson! Sample Sentences
★ 位置ことば（L5 スライド17） つくえの うえに ねこが います。 （The cat is on top of the desk.） はこの なかに ねこが います。 （The cat is inside the box.）
★ 月・曜日（L6 スライド2） きょうは なんようびですか？ （What day is it today?） げつようびです。 （It's Monday.） きょうは なんがつ なんにちですか？ （What's the date today?） ろくがつ ついたちです。 （It's June 1st.）
Thank you for coming to the lesson. Since this was our first lesson, we learned how to give a simple self-introduction. You can now introduce your name, nationality, and occupation in Japanese. You seemed a little unsure about your pronunciation, but you are pronouncing Japanese quite well, so there is no need to worry.
Thank you for joining the lesson as always. It was great to see you again! In today's lesson, we started practicing phrases using the nai‑form. You understood the difference between the polite style and the casual style very well.
For example, you are meeting a friend in Little Tokyo. But your friend doesn't show up even when the meeting time has already passed. Would you get angry? → おこらない、だいじょうぶです。(I wouldn’t get angry. It's alright.) You said, "I have waited for my friend for an hour before.” (まえに、１じかんまったことがあります。） But even then, I didn’t get angry.（それでもおこらなかった。） あなたは、やさしいひとですね。やさしすぎます。
You used the phrase“after the lesson れっすんのあとに、”when you said,“I eat dinner after the lesson.レッスンのあとに、ばんごはんをたべます。” That's the result of your studying! Wonderful job!
You shared so much again. Speaking like this is the fastest way to improve. おつかれさまでした！ Have an excellent weekend. See you next time!

I think planning your trip to Japan for next spring would be perfect. By then, I think you'll be able to speak some Japanese. If you can master hiragana and katakana, you'll be able to expand your vocabulary on your own. Please make sure to learn katakana as well.
