Thank you so much for coming to your second trial lesson!! Today, we learned how to greet people and introduce yourself in Japanese!
We’re just getting started, so it’s completely natural if it feels a bit difficult at first. Let’s practice a lot together! By the way, your Japanese pronunciation is beautiful, Jaquelyn!
I’m really looking forward to our lesson next week!
Here are the expressions we covered in today's lesson ↓ ☆hajimemashite=how do you do ☆watashi wa ○○ desu.=I am ○○(name). ☆○○ jin desu.=I am ○○.(nationality) ☆yoroshiku onegaishimasu=nice to meet you.
☆ohayou/ohayougozaimasu=good morning ☆konnichiwa=hello ☆konnbannwa=good evening ☆sumimasen=Excuse me/I'm sorry ☆arigatou/arigatougozaimasu=thank you ☆sayounara=bye ☆matane=see you
Thank you so much for coming to the lesson. You could understand and use many Japanese😊 〜たいです たべたいです のみたいです・・・ Please enjoy with your family! See you Next😊
Thank you so much for always joining the lesson at the same time and right on time. I truly appreciate it. It’s a wonderful habit, and it’s very important. We finished the Basic level today. Thank you for your hard work and effort. Great job!
I would like to proceed to Intermediate 1. Let’s continue enjoying studying Japanese together. If you continue studying, I will request the school staff to prepare the Intermediate 1 textbook.
Thank you again. In our next lesson, we will review “desu”-talk and create sentences using verbs. Have a wonderful week and stay well.
Thank you for joining the lesson as always. It was great to see you again. We finished Lesson 2, Expressing desires. You did well, it was trully excellent!
Then we moved on to study Lesson 3, Giving a Reason. In this structure, the reason comes first and the action comes second. The phrase “kara” means “because” in English. We use the phrase “kara” to connect the reason and the conclusion. For example: Atsui desu kara, mizu o nomimasu. — “Because it’s hot, I drink water.” Nichiyobi desu kara, takusan nemasu. — “Because it’s Sunday, I sleep a lot.”
Next time, we will continue practicing how to make sentences using “kara” to express the reason and the conclusion. Speaking is the fastest way to improve in any language, and you worked very hard again today. Great job!
