Thank you for coming to the lesson. As speaking practice, you talked about your plans for the Fourth of July. Since New York is experiencing an extreme heat wave and being outside can be dangerous, please take care and stay safe. We read aloud from the manga Flying Witch. I think it is more engaging than the dialogues in the textbook, so let's continue reading it little by little. Using the examples "The lesson is about to start," "The lesson has just started," and "The lesson is in progress," I explained the differences in meaning and how to use the grammar pattern "~tokoro desu."
日本語のべんきょうおつかれさまでした。 Thank you for your hard work studying Japanese.

Thank you for joining the lesson. As output practice, you talked about your plans for the Fourth of July in the United States. You also told me about your impressions of Anime Expo 2026, which you attended. We continued reading the manga Flying Witch aloud. Since we only got through part of the first chapter yesterday, we finished reading the rest of Chapter 1 today.
Thank you for coming to the lesson. As output practice, you talked about Independence Day in the United States. We also introduced some vocabulary through the things that inspired Pokémon designs. This time, we learned the words korai (ancient) and mirai (future). We continued studying intransitive and transitive verbs this week. Rather than trying to understand them only through rules, it may be easier to learn them as complete phrases.
