Today, you showed me your very cute cat! Your cat has such a beautiful face. I have a cat too, so seeing your cat made me very happy. Cats are really adorable, aren’t they? Living with my cat makes me happy every day too!
Today, we reviewed how to introduce yourself in Japanese. We also added 「すきです」 to your self-introduction so that you can talk about things you like. Of course, you said:
ねこがすきです。 Neko ga suki desu. I like cats.
We also studied 「これ・それ・あれ」 (this / that / that over there).
これはペンです。 Kore wa pen desu. This is a pen.
それはペンです。 Sore wa pen desu. That is a pen.
あれはペンです。 Are wa pen desu. That is a pen over there.
You told me that you had studied some of these expressions before, so I hope today’s lesson helped you remember some of the Japanese you learned in the past!
We also learned several useful nouns:
ほん hon book
ノート nooto notebook
かさ kasa umbrella
くつ kutsu shoes
かばん kaban bag
カメラ kamera camera
めがね megane glasses
くるま kuruma car
いえ ie house
つくえ tsukue desk
いす isu chair
Thank you again for coming to class today! I enjoyed studying Japanese with you, and it was especially nice to meet your cat. 🐱
Konnichiwa, Anjelica-san.It was nice to meet you. Thank you for taking my class today. You did an amazing job and I really enjoyed teaching you! Here is your self-introduction you learned today:
Hajime mashite. = How do you do? Watashi wa Anjelica desu. = I am Anjelica. Americajin desu. = I am an American. Uketsuke desu. = I am a receptionist. Yoroshiku onegai shimasu. (while bowing)= Nice to meet you.

I'm looking forward seeing you again next Sunday! Sayounara
Thank you for always joining the lessons without fail. I was happy to see you today. In today’s lesson, we made sentences using the Lesson 4 phrase “go to the place in order to do,” or shi-ni ikimasu. You’re now able to make longer sentences, and more importantly, you noticed when something felt a little off and corrected your own sentences. That’s excellent progress.
At the beginning of the lesson, we talked about the weather, and you did it very naturally. You’re doing a wonderful job. Let’s keep enjoying Japanese together at this pace.
