Thank you for coming to the lesson. While talking about today’s weather, we introduced vocabulary related to weather. We also looked at English words pronounced in the Japanese katakana style. We tried a tongue twister for the first time in a while. Finally, we reviewed the potential form.
Today we practiced the ～たら (tara) conditional form, which is used to talk about what will happen if something happens. We reviewed that ～たら is made by adding ら to the plain past form of a verb, adjective or noun.
For example:
If it’s sunny, let’s play soccer. If I had a boyfriend/girlfriend, I would go to the zoo together.
You also practiced making your own sentences using ～たら. You did a great job creating sentences such as:
Your sentences were clear and well formed. Very good work!
We also talked about lotteries. In Japanese, “to win the lottery” is 宝くじが当たる (たからくじがあたる). You mentioned that you have never bought a lottery ticket before. I haven’t bought one either, but I also think it might be interesting to try someday!
Great job today. I look forward to seeing you again next week.またね！
Thank you for coming to the lesson. You told me a lot about what happened today. It sounds like it was a tough day with rain, snow, strong winds, and a power outage. You also tried some tongue twisters for the first time in a while — I’m glad you enjoyed them. Continuing from yesterday, I introduced the case particle “ni.” Japanese particles are difficult, but let’s learn them little by little.
Lesson, thank you for your hard work today. Today we practiced “What is in the hallway?” and “Who is in the classroom?”. We will practice again next week. Thank you for always coming to the lesson with a smile.
