Today, we reviewed the demonstratives kore, sore, and are. We practiced making simple sentences such as “This is a book,” 「これは ほんです。」 “That is a pair of shoes,” 「それは くつです。」 and “That (over there) is a car.”「あれは くるまです。」
After that, we practiced expressing possession using no. For example, That is Miki’s bag”「それは みきさんの かばんです。」 and “That is Miki’s.” 「それは みきさんのです。」 We also practiced similar sentences like “That hat is Marvin’s.”「その ぼうしは Marvinさんのです。」
Next, we worked on asking and answering simple questions.
“Are you Hiro?”「あなたは ひろさんですか。」 “Yes, I am. I am Hiro.”「はい、そうです。ひろです。」 “No, I am not. I am Ken.”「はいいえ、ちがいます。けんです。」
You did very well in today’s lesson. Your pronunciation was also very clear and natural.
