こんばんわ！ You mentioned that you had work today, so you must be tired. But thank you for joining the lesson — I was really happy to see you. In today’s lesson, we also practiced expressions that use “ています.”
First, we reviewed the affirmative form: “しります”becomes “しっています” when we use the“ています”form. For the negative form, it becomes “しりません.” We don’t say “しっていません,” because “knowing”is considered a state, not an ongoing action. "しっています” is the only exception.
We practiced asking questions using “ています.” For example: * くるまはじぶんであらっていますか？ きかいであらっていますか？ (Do you wash your car yourself, or do you use a car‑wash machine?) Answer: じぶんであらっています (I'm washing a car by myself) * いつくるまをあらっていますか？ (How often do you wash your car?) Answer: ３しゅうかんに１かいです。 (I wash it once every three weeks. I wash my car myself.)
Excellent work! Thank you for your effort today too. Next week is your birthday, but you told me you still plan to join the lesson. I'm very happy about that. See you next week. Have a wonderful week!
Thank you for attending the lesson. As output practice, you talked about your trip to Bryce Canyon last week. In the textbook, we reviewed how to change verbs from the masu-form to the te-form. Using the pattern “te-form + kudasai,” you practiced expressions for various situations.
Thank you for coming to class today. You know a lot of Japanese anime. I will also try to watch some by next week. From next time, I will conduct the class using anime and such.

We had two lessons today. Thank you for a long time ,Patric-san. I appreciate your cooperation.
We studied to read various Japanese words by using Hiragana and Katakana. I was surprised your pronunciation about りゃ、りゅ、りょ.It was so great. But your understanding is not perfect yet, so let's practice again.ありがとうございました。See you next lesson.
