Today we whisked and enjoyed matcha together! 🍵☺️🤭 Even though Japan and the US are far apart, sharing a traditional Japanese cultural experience like this makes us feel so close. ☺️ I was a little worried that repetitive practice might be boring for you, but you eagerly said, "No! It's not boring! Repetition is necessary!" and practiced so hard while having fun. That really made me feel fulfilled as a teacher. Today, we were reminded of the ultimate "luxury" in life: it's not for any profit or business—it's simply sharing time together because you love the Japanese language. Thank you for such a memorable and fun lesson today! By the way, I was so surprised to see that you actually own a Chasen-kuse-naoshi (whisk shaper)! That is amazing! 🤩😎👍 See you next week!
"ちょっと" originally means "a bit" or "for a sec." However, in these sentences, "ちょっと" is not used for its literal meaning—it softens requests or favors. Please try using ”ちょっと” when asking someone a favor!
We did a lot of practice with the "ない-form" today. You seemed to find the Group 3 verbs a bit tricky at times, but you did a great job with everything else. Well done!
We also moved on to a new lesson today. We covered new expressions using the "ない-form" that we studied in Lesson 8. Let's keep practicing so you can use them in various situations!
You did a great job with the exercises for Lesson 50! Today was the first time we studied detail about honorifics. You did very well on the practice exercises. There are still a few exercises left, so let's continue with them next time.
