Today, we looked at images of Japan's Bon Odori and Awa Odori dances. Since there were various summer events—such as fireworks festivals—let's look at photos of those together sometime, too.
Thank you for coming today's lesson. I am so glad to see your face. could you enjoy today's lesson? I want you to sturdy Japanese more and enjoy more together with me😊See you next🐣
Thank you for joining the lesson on Sunday. It was great to see you again! You mentioned that your new textbook has arrived. I’m glad it reached you safely.
Today, we made simple sentences using verbs from the Basic text. We reviewed the present tense, negative form, past tense, and past negative form.
For example, we practiced a verb that wasn’t in the textbook: “to memorize.”, oboe masu. I asked, “How did you learn the alphabet?” You answered, “kami ni kakimashita, oboemashita. (I wrote it on paper and memorized it)” and “alphabet no utade oboe mashita. (I learned it with the alphabet song.)
Thank you for your hard work and your effort! Let's continue practicing using verbs next time. Have a great week and stay well!
Thank you for joining the lesson on Sunday. It was great to see you again! In today’s lesson, we continued studying how to give a reason. We used the i‑adjectives from the textbook and made sentences with them. For example: * ninjin wa oishiku nai desukara tabemasen. (I don’t eat carrots because they are not tasty.) * yuzusake wa yasukatta desu kara ni hon kaimashita. (I bought two bottles of yuzu sake because it was cheap.) * atarashii hon desu kara yomimasu. (It’s a new book, so I will read it.)
We also practiced making present tense, past tense, and negative sentences using the adjectives from the textbook. Your sentences were excellent, and you clearly understand the sentence patterns.
In addition, today you made a longer sentence: furi eiga desukara eigakan e ikimashita.(Because it’s an old movie, I went to the movie theater.) This was wonderful. Another natural sentence is: furui eiga ga ghajimarimasu kara eigakan e ikimashita. (Because an old movie is starting, I went to the movie theater.)
I will also explain a little about the difference between hajimemasu and hajimarimasu. *“Hajimemasu” means “to start something” and it is an action you do. * “Hajimarimasu” means “something starts by itself.”
Let’s study the same part again. You did very well — it was truly excellent! Have an excellent week. Stay well!
Today we practiced a lot with "いきます” You distinguished well the tenses. Let's practice more next lesson. Please review vocabulary for transportaion: じてんしゃ、バイク、ひこうき、しんかんせん、ちかてつ、でんしゃ、ふね
New vocabulary: いとこ：cousin ナイアガラのたき：Niagara falls わたしは MDJのせいとです。（I am a MDJ student.)
Anyway, I really hope you drive safely on your trip!
