Thank you for joining the lesson. You practiced reading news headlines, including kanji, while looking at images from a news website. Let's gradually increase the number of kanji you can read. We also had a casual conversation about topics such as Japan's rainy season and wildfires in California.
Thank you for attending the lesson. As output practice, you talked about participating in a mindfulness event. You have a wonderful hobby. We practiced the expression “~te imasu,” which is used to describe what someone is doing now. Since this pattern uses “te-form + imasu,” we reviewed the rules for changing verbs from the masu-form to the te-form.
Thank you for joining the lesson as always! It was great to see you again! In today's lesson, we practiced using nai-form, negative form. For example, we changed the following verbs to nai- form such as, ＊あるきます→ あるかない ＊なきます→ なかない ＊かいます→ かわない ＊かいものします→ かいものしない
** To make the nai‑form: • For Group 1 verbs, change the final u‑sound to the a‑sound and add nai. • For the irregular verb shimasu, change it to shinai.
I asked several questions today, and you responded very well. Also enjoyed our shared topics, such as cooking and the weather. In our next lesson, we will continue practicing the nai‑form and include some te‑form review. Thank you for your effort today. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
Thanks for coming to the lesson. I'm glad you're continuing my lessons. Let's have fun studying Japanese! Sorry, but I won’t have lessons next week. I’ll email you later.
