こんばんわ！Thank you for joining the lesson again today. I was really happy to see you! In today’s lesson, we continued practicing the particle からは, which is used to mark the starting point of a situation, time, or condition. The particle "は" adds emphasis or contrast.
The senteces such as, *あなたのいえからは or まどから なにがみえますか？(What can you see from your house or the wondow? ) →わたしのいえからは、or まどからは、きがみえます。 *あなたはらいしゅうから、なにをしますか？ (What will you do starting next week?) →らいしゅうからは、おかしをへらしたいです。さいきん、たべすぎているので。(I want to cut down on sweets starting next week because I’ve been eating too much recently.) *かのじょからクリスマスに、なにをもらいましたか？(What did you get from her for Christmas?) →かのじょからは、こうすいをもらいました。 Then,あなたからはかのじょに、なにをクリスマスにあげましたか？(What did you give her for Christmas?) →わたしからはクリスマスにセーターをあげました。(I gave her a sweater for Christmas.)
We reviewed the English and Japanese words for "sea". Native speakers usually use ocean rather than sea when they say "うみ" . In Japanese, however, we only have one word, "うみ" for both. Interesting!
Next week, let’s talk about the differences between the United States and Japan, just like in the conversation examples in the textbook. For example, in Japan we take off our shoes when we enter a house. What about in the U.S.? I'm looking forward to it.
Excellent wrok,おつかれさまでした! Have a great weekend then. Stay well!
