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!
We talked about the World Cup again today. France and England both lost their semifinal matches, so they will now play in the third-place match. It will be very interesting to see which team wins.
And finally, the World Cup final is coming: Argentina vs. Spain! We had a great time discussing which team might win. Both matches should be very exciting.
At the same time, it feels a little sad that the World Cup is almost over. We have talked about it so much and enjoyed following the tournament together, so it will feel strange when it suddenly ends. We will have to wait another four years for the next World Cup. Next time, Japan will win, so please support them!
Thank you for sharing many other stories with me as well. It sounds like the weather is extremely hot where you live right now. In Japan, the mornings are still a little cool, so I am happy about that.
You also told me that tickets for the Captain Tsubasa exhibition are very expensive. Even from a Japanese perspective, they sound far too expensive! We wondered who would pay that much and what kind of exhibits they might have. Still, for people who really want to go, perhaps the high price will not stop them.
Today, we practiced the conditional form.
For example:
がんばれば、かてます。 If you work hard, you can win.
We use the conditional form when we want to say that if a certain condition is met, a particular result will follow.
You did a very good job conjugating the verbs and using the conditional form correctly.
Thank you again for coming to class today. See you in our next class!またね！
