Thank you for attending the lesson. As output practice, you talked about the test you took last week. I'm glad to hear that it seems to have gone well. You practiced making sentences using the new vocabulary. We also learned some simple kanji: 木 (tree), 林 (woods), 森 (forest), 田 (rice field), 川 (river), 雨 (rain), and 雲 (cloud). We also learned the useful everyday expressions "mazu wa" ("first of all") and "sono toori desu" ("That's right."). We have another lesson at the same time tomorrow, so don't forget!
Thank you for joining the first trial lesson! I’m really impressed —you did a great job and learned so quickly. You can already introduce yourself in Japanese now.
Here are some notes about what we did today.
hajimemashite --- How do you do? watashi wa __ desu --- I am [name]. __ jin desu --- I'm [nationality]. yoroshiku onegai shimasu --- Nice to meet you.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again next week. Hope you have a lovely week!
Thank you for joining the lesson today, even though it was another very hot day. I was truly happy to see you and to see that you were doing well. Today, we continued with Lesson 3 and checked the vocabulary for giving a reason. You practiced making sentences and speaking using those words. The dictionary form that appeared in the textbook will be studied in detail in Intermediate 2, but thank you for remembering it. And in Japanese, loanwords are written in katakana — it was wonderful that you took notes on that. You were also able to speak smoothly, even with long sentences. It was truly impressive. Great work today. In our next lesson, let’s read the conversation in the textbook, and then begin Intermission 1. Have a wonderful week!
