Today, we reviewed how to tell time in Japanese. Please be careful with 4:00, 7:00, and 9:00, because their readings are a little irregular.
We also practiced minutes. Depending on the number, ふん is pronounced either ふん (fun) or ぷん (pun), so please pay attention to that as well. You took your time to think before answering, and I think you did very well.
You were also able to use ごぜん (a.m.) and ごご (p.m.) to talk about the time in different countries. Great job!
Your daughter is on summer vacation now, and your mother will be staying with you until August 30. It must be very reassuring to have her there.
We also studied verbs such as おきます (okimasu) and ねます (nemasu).
For example:
4じにおきます。 Yoji ni okimasu. I wake up at 4:00.
9じはんにねます。 Kuji-han ni nemasu. I go to bed at 9:30.
You were able to say your own wake-up time and bedtime correctly. Very good!
There will be a little time before our next class, but I’m really looking forward to seeing you again.
