In the practice exercises for Lesson 7, there are verbs that can be easily changed to the -て form and those that cannot. Let's memorize the frequently appearing phrases as sets!
As I commented last time, even if you go at a slow pace, think about which group of verbs they belong to and make sure you can reliably change them to the -てform.

Thank you very much for signing up for lessons with me. I was very happy to see you again today after some time!
Today, we mainly studied three things:
① Introducing yourself, including talking about your job and things you like.
② Practicing negative forms such as: “I am not ~.” “I do not like ~.” We also learned question words like: “Which?” and “Who?”
③ Useful greetings and phrases for daily life in Japan, such as: “Please speak Japanese.” “Good night.”
Today, we also discovered some new things!
I was happy to learn about your favorite anime. “Fullmetal Alchemist” is often called “Hagaren” in Japan. And I was surprised to hear about “Sailor Moon” too! So nostalgic♪
From next week, let’s keep sharing more things together!
And your request!!
You want to speak a lot of Japanese during lessons, right!?
Got it!!
Let’s speak lots of Japanese from our next lesson onward!
Also, it’s wonderful that you have already started practicing Hiragana! I can support you with that too, so please let me know anytime if you need help.
And the final goal of these lessons is to be able to read Japanese manga in Japanese someday, right!?
That’s amazing! I love that goal!
Let’s do our best together! Our next lesson will be: US time: Sunday, June 7th at 8:30 PM Japan time: Monday, June 8th at 9:30 AM
Thank you again, and I look forward to seeing you next time♪
