きょうは、ありがとう。 We talked about the Japanese cultural event called Seijin Shiki (Coming of Age Day). We have finished all the hiragana.From now on, let’s practice little by little so you can read them. We also studied possession using “watashi no desu.” In addition, we practiced how to answer “はい、そうです。” and “いいえ、ちがいます。” using a game. Let’s do our best together.
Hello Garrett san, Thank you for taking a class with me. You can read sentences clearly and answer my questions well. Please keep up the good work! I'll see you next week. Have a wonderful rest of the day. Ayako
