まいあさ = every morning べんきょうします = to study りょうりします = to cook そうじします = to clean うんどうします = to exercise はたらきます = to work おきます = wake up ねます = sleep / go to bed
We started L8 and went through slides 1 and 2. We covered the six ます-form patterns (ます / ません / ました / ませんでした /ますか / ませんか) and confirmed that the part before ます does not change for any verb group. ませんでした was new this time.
We also practiced て形 for listing actions, and ～てくれてありがとう.
Verbs were produced without much hesitation, and てform conversion was faster than in previous lessons.
Homework: slides 3 to 8.
Sample Sentences (今日の例文)

As I mentioned during the lesson, Japanese pronunciation can be quite difficult for English speakers at first, but your pronunciation was so good! I was really impressed! 😊
I’m looking forward to seeing you again next week!
Thank you for coming to 2nd trial lesson! And thank you for sharing thought of "Onegaishimasu" It's so nice to deepen our understanding of our cultures.
Thank you for coming to your first private lesson today! It was great getting to know more about you.
You told me that you like anime and manga such as Fruits Basket and Akatsuki no Yona. They are very popular in Japan too! I feel like Fruits Basket, in particular, has many fans around me as well.
You also love Japanese food, including ramen, dango, sushi, and udon. You have visited Japan several times and have been to many places, including Fukuoka, Kyoto, Tokyo, Osaka, and Kinosaki Onsen. It sounds like you have already had many wonderful experiences in Japan!
Maybe because you watch a lot of anime, your Japanese pronunciation was very clear and easy to understand. You pronounced phrases such as:
おねがいします。 Onegai shimasu. Please.
ごめんなさい。 Gomen nasai. I’m sorry.
ちょっとまって。 Chotto matte. Wait a moment.
We also practiced introducing yourself in Japanese today. You told me that your job is a wedding content creator. In Japanese, we can simply say:
I don’t think there is a special Japanese term for this job, so using ウェディングコンテンツクリエイター is perfectly fine!
① How do you do? はじめまして。 hajime mashite ② I am NAME. わたしは NAME です。 watashi wa NAME desu ③ I am . country じん です。 country jin desu
Chuugokujin （Chinese） Amerika jin (American) Nihon jin (Japanese)
④ My occupation is ____./ I’m a ____. (わたし は) occupation です。 (watashi wa) occupation desu ⑤ Nice to meet you. よろしく おねがいします。 yoroshiku onegai shimasu
You also did a great job practicing your self-introduction today. Your Japanese pronunciation was very good, and I really enjoyed learning more about you.
Thank you again for coming to class today. See you in our next lesson!
