"ちょっと" originally means "a bit" or "for a sec." However, in these sentences, "ちょっと" is not used for its literal meaning—it softens requests or favors. Please try using ”ちょっと” when asking someone a favor!
We did a lot of practice with the "ない-form" today. You seemed to find the Group 3 verbs a bit tricky at times, but you did a great job with everything else. Well done!
We also moved on to a new lesson today. We covered new expressions using the "ない-form" that we studied in Lesson 8. Let's keep practicing so you can use them in various situations!
You did a great job with the exercises for Lesson 50! Today was the first time we studied detail about honorifics. You did very well on the practice exercises. There are still a few exercises left, so let's continue with them next time.
Thank you for joining the lesson on Monday. It was great to see you again!
Today, we continued studying the passive form. From Lesson 37 of Minna no Nihongo, our conversation expanded from the word “business trip.” You told me that next week you will be traveling for work for about a week, from Denver, Colorado to the East Coast. Using Google Maps, you were able to use directional expressions correctly—such as east of NYC, above, and below. This is one of the great advantages of online lessons.
I’ve never been to Colorado or anywhere east of NYC, and I even heard the names of some islands for the first time. It was a fun conversation, and it almost felt like I traveled there myself. Thank you.
You also mentioned that you will join the lesson from your business trip, which I’m looking forward to. I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip. Take care and have a great time on your business trip!
