Thank you for coming to the lesson. You talked about what you’d like to do this winter. Going to a café if the weather is nice, or building a book nook at home if it’s not — that sounds like a great plan. Following last week, we continued learning some uses of the particle “ni.”

Thank you very much for attending today’s lesson. We learned about Pokémon types and discussed how some of them have different meanings in Japanese and English, which was quite interesting. We have now officially started the Advanced-level lessons. Let us move forward steadily, one step at a time.
