Konbanwa!Thank you for joining the lesson before Christmas. It was wonderful to see you again. Today, we finished up to Lesson 2,questions. You could understand well! Then we move on to Lesson 3: “Ikura desu ka? / How much is it?” The answer is expressed by saying a Japanese number followed by "en." In Japanese, we say "sono ringo" for something near the listener. In English, we express this using “The,That” as in "How much is the/ that apple?".
AlsoThese numbers have special pronunciations: 100, 300, 600, 800, 1000, 3000, and 8000. They sometimes change to a "b" or "p" sound when combined with "en."
Sorry the website was slow to change screens at the end of the lesson. I really enjoyed today’s lesson. Our next lesson will be the last one of the year. Merry Christmas!
Great job on our last lesson of the year! Today, we finished learning how to write hiragana. If you have some time during the break, let’s practice! Next, we will start learning how to write katakana. Let’s enjoy studying Japanese together again next year!
Today, you practiced reading again. There are some hiragana characters that are easy to confuse, so read carefully. Keep at it steadily and I hope you'll be able to read smoothly!
Then, in the "て-form" practice exercise, you explained how to cook steak. The verbs you used were a little difficult, so changing them to the て-form was also difficult. The verbs in Group 1 in particular have a variety of patterns, so practice them many times until you can say them!
