Please use this for today’s review! See you next time！
I had so much fun today as well... The highlight was definitely when we listened to the theme song of your favorite anime! Lol. You know those songs where you've heard them before, you can even sing a bit of them... but you actually have no idea what the lyrics mean? You mentioned you have a song just like that! Next week, to grant your request, let's study the meaning of the theme song from Princess Tutu together! I really love lessons like this too ♡ Today we also practiced counting numbers, such as asking "How old are you?" and "How much is this?" We covered a lot of ground! I won't forget our promise for next week! See you next week! I'm looking forward to it.
We worked on the extended practice for 2.おうよう and 3.ことわざ of Lesson 5.
【3.ことわざ】 1. Walls have ears、sliding doors have eyes. 2. If there is pleasure, there is also hardship. 3. If one god abandons you, another god will pick you up.
Try your best to learn the furniture and home appliance vocabulary!

### 2. i-Adjectives: Two Main Sentence Patterns (い形容詞)
There are two primary ways to describe things using i-adjectives:
Pattern 1: [ Topic は ] [ i-Adjective ] です。 State that a specific item has a certain quality. ・その てぶくろは たかいです。 (Those gloves are expensive.) ・この ペンは あかいです。 (This pen is red.)
Pattern 2: [ Demonstrative は ] [ i-Adjective ] + [ Noun ] です。 Place the adjective directly before the noun to modify it. ・これは たかい てぶくろです。 (This is an expensive pair of gloves.)
💬 Shopping Dialogue Practice: ・Q: その てぶくろは いくらですか。 (How much are those gloves?) ・A: 30,000(さんまん)えんです。 (They are 30,000 yen.) ・Q: ええ！？ その てぶくろは たかいです！ (What!? Those gloves are expensive!) ・A: はい。これは たかい てぶくろです。 (Yes. These are expensive gloves.)
### 3. Colors: Adjectives vs. Nouns (いろ)
Notice that colors with 〜い act directly as i-adjectives, while forms without 〜い are nouns:
| Color | i-Adjective Form | Noun Form | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Red | あかい (akai) | あか (aka) | | Yellow | きいろい (kiiroi) | きいろ (kiiro) | | White | しろい (shiroi) | しろ (shiro) | | Black | くろい (kuroi) | くろ (kuro) | | Blue | あおい (aoi) | あお (ao) | | Green | - | みどり (midori) | | Purple | - | むらさき (murasaki) |
Armando san You did a great job again today. Thank you for your saying "sad" when you had to stop learning at the end of the lesson. You are a great student. Let's continue to enjoy studying Japanese together.

Congratulations on your grandmother's 100th birthday! It's wonderful that you were all able to celebrate together. Today, it was so much fun sharing tips with each other on how to count numbers and memorize them in English. Thank you for the great ideas! I also introduced a funny Kanji T-shirt. I was so happy to find that we share the same sense of humor—no wonder we get along so well... I felt that way from the very first time we met! Lol. We also shared two news stories about sushi. The experience of touring sightseeing spots while eating sushi on an open-top bus looked so interesting. We were quite surprised when we compared the price per plate of a conveyor-belt sushi restaurant that opened in New York. Today we also studied the top 16 most common Japanese surnames. And wow, you were able to read the Hiragana so well! Amazing! We finished the lesson practicing "Whose is this? It's mine." I'm looking forward to seeing you again next week!
We had a great time talking about your trip today, didn't we? I was surprised that you were able to read the kanji for "amusement park" (遊園地). Also, our conversation went from talking about the Imperial Palace (皇居) to the Emperor (天皇陛下). Please tell me about the third day of your trip tomorrow. Well then, see you again tomorrow (^ ^)
