First, we talked about the World Cup. It's too bad that Brazil lost, especially because they were such a strong team. That was really disappointing.
Even though Brazil lost, I'm glad you had a great time at the party with your friends. It sounds like you still enjoyed the day.
Now you're cheering for France or Argentina. The World Cup is getting closer and closer to the final, and I'm getting excited too!
Today, we studied the difference between います (imasu) and あります (arimasu). I think you understood the difference very well.
For example:
おばけがいます。 Obake ga imasu. There is a ghost.
ゾンビがいます。 Zonbi ga imasu. There is a zombie.
水族館に魚がいます。 Suizokukan ni sakana ga imasu. There are fish in the aquarium.
スーパーに魚があります。 Sūpā ni sakana ga arimasu. There is fish at the supermarket.
Today, we also learned a lot of new vocabulary. You don't need to memorize all of the words at once. We used many new words to make different sentences, and I think you did a great job.

Thank you for the lesson today! Great work on Lesson 7 – Verbs. We covered a lot of ground, including the conversation about going to Ado's concert, the 6 forms of Japanese verbs, and the 3 verb groups.
Thank you for joining today's lesson even though you were busy. I also truly appreciate that you stopped by our school's booth during the Anime Expo festival. Hearing that made me very happy. You mentioned that you took a photo with our school staff—I will make sure to check it later.
Thank you for sharing so much today, including your experience at Anime Expo and the English essay assignment you struggled with. But you have many strong subjects, and you remembered the phrases we practiced before. Even though it had been a while since your last lesson, you did very well. It was wonderful. おつかれさまでした！
You reviewed the material very well today. The vocabulary you're studying now is very important and used very often, so please practice pronouncing the words over and over until you remember them.
