It seems the equipment wasn’t working well today, so we couldn’t talk much, but did you understand greetings and self-introductions? I could clearly see that you understood the part about nationality, so next time I hope we can talk while seeing each other’s faces!
About “desu”: it is a polite form and is placed at the end of a sentence. It doesn’t have a specific meaning like “I am,” but please remember that it is used when speaking politely—for example, when talking at work or with someone older.
Lastly, for homework, please practice numbers. Try to learn how to read and write the numbers from 1 to 10 by looking at them, reading them, and writing them.
Today, we practiced greetings. You learn very quickly, and you were able to introduce yourself very well. Sometimes pronunciation can be a little difficult, but as you speak more Japanese, you will get used to it 😊
For today’s homework, I gave you practice with numbers. Please try to remember them by looking, reading, and writing them.
Hello Kayla san, こんにちは！ Thank you for taking a class with me. It's been a while to have a class. I'm glad that you enjoyed your holiday. Today, we learned te-form. It's challenging to master this form, but worth it. Let's practice it more next time. See you soon, have a wonderful rest of the day. Ayako
Joel-san, thank you for coming to the first lesson of the new year. Starting today, we introduced verbs. Now you can talk about so many things. Let's keep up the good work!
