Thank you so much for attending the first lesson of April. It's been some time it's great to see you again! In today's lesson, we continued learning Chapter 12, Imperative, Prohibitive form.

We looked at the illustrations in the textbook and made sentences using the command form and prohibition form.
For example, it is the cherry blossom season in Japan now. Japanese people enjoy sitting under the cherry trees, drinking alcohol, and sharing food. This is legal in Japan at this time of year.
However, in the United States, you cannot eat or drink in public places. It is illegal there.
It's the same at fireworks festivals. People eat and drink while watching the fireworks.

We reviewed road signs such as,
"No Right Turn,”(右折禁止),“No Left Turn," (左折禁止),
"One Way,”(一方通行) and “No Diving.”(飛込禁止).

We also talked about the Olympic tickets for the LA Games that will be held in two years.

Thank you always for preparing for the lessons. Great work today. おつかれさまでした。 See you next week! Have a wonderful week!

こんにちは!
今日もありがとうございました<m(__)m>

**今日のレッスン

ぶんぽう ふくしゅう
・ーば
・ーようにしてください


*ーば/ ーたら について

Basic Difference

Both “〜たら (tara)” and “〜ば (ba)” mean “if” in Japanese.

〜たら: more flexible (used in many situations)
〜ば: has some restrictions (cannot be used in certain cases)
❌ When “〜ば” CANNOT be used (Important!)
@ When the second clause is a command or request

👉 Do NOT use “〜ば”

✔ Correct
If you get home, please call me.
(家に帰ったら、電話してください。)
❌ Incorrect / unnatural
If you get home, please call me.
(家に帰れば、電話してください。)

👉 Reason:
“〜ば” expresses only a condition, so it does not match well with commands like “please do ~”.

A When the second clause shows intention or desire

👉 Do NOT use “〜ば”

✔ Correct
If I have time, I want to watch a movie.
(時間があったら、映画を見たいです。)
❌ Incorrect / unnatural
If I have time, I want to watch a movie.
(時間があれば、映画を見たいです。)

👉 Reason:
“〜ば” is used for natural results (things beyond your control),
so it doesn’t match well with personal wishes like “want to”.

B When it is a definite condition (確定条件)

👉 This is the key point!

✔ Use “〜たら”
When spring comes, cherry blossoms bloom.
(春になったら、桜が咲きます。)
❌ Incorrect / unnatural
When spring comes, cherry blossoms bloom.
(春になれば、桜が咲きます。)

👉 Reason:
“Spring comes” is something that always happens (100% certain),
so “〜たら” is used.

🌸 Summary (Very Simple)
Sentence Type 〜たら 〜ば
Commands / Requests ○ ❌
Intention / Desire ○ ❌
Definite condition ○ ❌
General condition ○ ○

むずかしいですね(;'∀')
なにか しつもんがあれば いつでも いってください!

また 木曜日に おあいしましょう☆☆

Thank you for attending the first of April. It has been some time. It was great to see you again! In today's lesson, we continued learning and practicing Lesson 10: na-adjectives in the past affirmative form and the past negative form, polite way of speaking.

Grammar:
The present affirmative form, "desu",
The past affirmatuve,"deshita".
The present negative form, "jya arimasen",
The past negative form, "jya arimasen deshita".

For example:
*Sakura wa kirei deshita ka?
(Was the cherry blossom beautiful?)
→ Hai, kirei deshita.
(Yes, it was beautiful.)

*Beach wa shizuka deshita ka?
(Was the beach quiet?)
→ Iie, shizuka ja arimasen deshita.
(No, it wasn't quiet.)

Lesson 9, which covers i‑adjectives, and Lesson 10, which covers na‑adjectives, are the final stages of the Basic Level, and I know they were quite challenging.
But I truly appreciate how well you kept up. You’re really getting used to Japanese little by little. In our next lesson, we’ll review what we’ve learned through simple conversations, make sentences using verbs, and also study particles. After that, we’ll move on to Intermediate 1 and start exploring Japanese more deeply. You did an excellent job. See you next week! I’ll be waiting for you in Zoom room 43!
