Thank you for coming to class today!

Today was our second lesson. First, we reviewed how to introduce yourself in Japanese. You also did a great job practicing greetings.

After that, we practiced how to talk about things you like using すきです (suki desu). For example:

わたしはアニメがすきです。 (Watashi wa anime ga suki desu.)
(I like anime.)
あなたはやきゅうがすきですか。 (Anata wa yakyuu ga suki desu ka?)
(Do you like baseball?)

You did very well with this pattern!

Then we started Lesson 1. In this lesson, we learned これ (kore), それ (sore), and あれ (are).

For example:

これはペンです。 (Kore wa pen desu.)
(This is a pen.)
それはくつです。 (Sore wa kutsu desu.)
(That is a pair of shoes.)
あれはくるまです。 (Are wa kuruma desu.)
(That is a car over there.)

You did a great job using these new expressions.

I enjoyed hearing about your trip today, and it made me excited as well! It sounded like a wonderful experience.

Japan has been having very hot weather recently. Hearing about your travels made me think that I would like to go on a trip too!

Thank you for sharing your travel stories with me.

Thank you again for joining today's class. I look forward to seeing you in our next lesson!

1. AM / PM & Time of Day Indicators
In Japanese, instead of just using AM/PM, it is very common to specify the exact time of day before the hour.

AM & PM Base Terms
ごぜん (Gozen) = AM

ごご (Gogo) = PM

Natural Time of Day Categories
あさ (Asa) = Morning (e.g., 5:00 AM – 11:00 AM)

ひる (Haru / Hiru) = Midday / Daytime (e.g., 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM)

ばん (Ban) = Evening

よる (Yoru) = Night (e.g., 5:00 PM – 11:00 PM)

よなか (Yonaka) = Midnight / Late night (e.g., 12:00 AM – 4:00 AM)

2. Asking & Telling the Time
To tell the time, you use 〜じ (ji) for hours and 〜ふん / ぷん (fun / pun) for minutes. For the half-hour mark (30 minutes), you can use 〜じはん (jihan).

Core Q&A Examples:
Q: いま なんじですか。
(What time is it now?)

A: ごご (よるの) 8じ34ふん です。
(It is 8:34 PM / 8:34 at night.)

Q: [ Name ] さんの ところは いま なんじですか。
(What time is it now where [Name] is?)

A: あさの 10じ 36ぷん です。
(It is 10:36 in the morning.)

Q: ニューヨークは いま なんじですか。
(What time is it in New York right now?)

3. Grammar Pattern: "From... To..." (〜から 〜まで)
When talking about business hours, classes, or event durations, use the particles から (kara = from) and まで (made = to / until).

💡 Core Structure:

[ Time/Day ] から [ Time/Day ] まで です。
(It is from [Time/Day] to [Time/Day].)

Examples from the worksheet:
にほんの ぎんこうは 9じ から 3じ まで です。
(Japanese banks are open from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.)

アメリカでは なんじ から なんじ まで ですか。
(From what time to what time is it in America?)

なるとは アメリカでは にちようびの あさ 9じ から 10じ まで です。
(Naruto is on in America on Sunday mornings from 9:00 to 10:00.)

にほんでは にちようびの ごご 5じはん から 6じ まで です。
(In Japan, it is on Sundays from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM.)

4. Talking About Your Schedule & Past Events
You can combine days, times, and activities to describe your routine or what you did yesterday using the past tense (〜ました - mashita).

Future / Routine Schedule (💡 Tomorrow):
あした なにが ありますか。 (What is happening tomorrow?)

9じはん から 6じはん まで かいしゃで しごとが あります。
(I have work at the company from 9:30 to 6:30.)

Past Activities (💡 Yesterday):
きのう なにが ありましたか。 (What happened/What did you do yesterday?)

きのう ごご 6じ から 8じ まで プールで およぎました。
(Yesterday, I swam in the pool from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM.)

きのう ごご 8じ から 9じ まで ラーメンを たべました。
(Yesterday, I ate ramen from 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM.)

きのう あさ 10じ から 12じ まで マラソンたいかいが ありました。
(Yesterday, there was a marathon tournament from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.)

5. Bonus: Food & Counting Fun Fact!
At the bottom of the worksheet, there's a fun conversation about eating たいやき (Taiyaki)!

Where? フリスコ テキサスで たべました! (I ate it in Frisco, Texas!)

What was inside? たいやきの なかに ヌテラと チーズと オレオクッキーが はいっていました。 (Inside the taiyaki, there was Nutella, cheese, and Oreo cookies.)

How many? たいやきを 5こ たべました。 (I ate 5 taiyaki.)

Note: 〜こ (ko) is the counter for small, round, or three-dimensional objects!

Thank you for joining the last of May. It was great to see you again! In today’s lesson, we mainly reviewed and practiced using “What kind of 〜?”, “How about 〜?”, and the past affirmative and past negative forms of adjectives.

For example:
"Kakkoii”is a slightly casual i‑adjective.
It's commonly used in conversation.

"kakkoyokunai desu (polite), The negative form "nai”is also casual. To make it polite, you add“desu”after it.

This is an irregular pattern.
This adjective is irregular because "ii”changes to“yoku” in the negative form. It follows the same rule as ii / yoi.
ii → yoi(original form)
yoi → yoku nai(negative)
yoi → yokatta(past)
yoi → yoku(adverb)

Next time, we mainly reviewed and practiced using “What kind of 〜?”,"How about 〜?", and the past affirmative and past negative forms of adjectives.
Thank you so much for sharing your answers again. I really enjoyed it, and I hope you did too. Excellent job! Have a great week!
