Thank you for coming to today's lesson. Following last week's lesson, we continued studying hiragana, the Japanese writing system. We also learned how to use kore, sore, and are by practicing sentences such as "This is a pen," "That is a pen," and "That over there is a pen." Our next lesson will be next week, July 29, at 8:30 p.m. It will start one hour earlier than usual. We will meet in ZM55.

Thank you very much for joining the Japanese lesson today after such a long day. It was quite late at night—did it help you refresh your mind? We covered a lot of great material today! We studied the difference between "imagasu" (living things exist) and "arimasu" (inanimate objects exist) for describing locations, using patterns like "Basho ni [noun] ga imasu/arimasu." We also learned words indicating positions, such as "chikaku" (near), "tooku" (far), and "aida" (between). With this, you can now talk about your realistic current situation in self-introductions and more! You have great adaptability and have become able to express what you want to say one after another. Hearing you speak made me so happy. Teaching you is always fun and deeply rewarding. Next week is our regular time slot. I'm looking forward to it! Best regards,
こんばんわ! ありがとうございます for coming today's lesson. We enjoyed Memories game again! you really have good memories! And your pronunciation are obviously getting better, especially "u" sound. You are getting used to taking one mora for "u" just like さようなら, ありがとう etc... Also I'm so happy that you got textbooks. as I said in lesson, 8 Kanji strokes rule are same as Hiragana so you can use that poster for your information for hiragana homework. Sorry for not having next week lesson but I'm looking forward to seeing you in next 2 week again!
