Thank you for coming to the lesson. As a level check, we did a Basic review test. Since your fundamentals are solid, we will move on to intermediate-level lessons from now on. Next week, we will go over the test.
Thank you for joining today’s lesson as well. You can read hiragana perfectly and smoothly. Great job!
Every week, I ask you many questions using the grammar we have learned, and you answer them very well. That’s wonderful.
I hope you can eat Yoshinoya’s beef bowl （ぎゅうどん）in Japan someday. 🍚
