Please remember to check the Padlet. It contains so much information that is needed. When you come to class, you should be aware of any changes or updates, also, you should be practicing using the Padlet since it has all this information that most of you end up not knowing because of your lack of responsibility for checking and updating yourself. Thank you! - Skillify Team

こんにちは learners! げんきですか? This is a practice lesson. Just read the sentences and reply in the comments with answer

1. アメリカもしゅしんですか?

2. きみはあにですか?

3. ねこいやいぬ?

If you don’t know the words just use translate but your answer should not use translate.

I will reply to your comment with corrections, tips, or alternatives for words or phrases.

At the level you’re at right now, you probably know a few phrases to describe and introduce yourself. Please comment your introduction (preferably in Japanese characters if u know them, thought it doesn’t have to have katakana or kanji) Be as descriptive and detailed as possible!

Example:

こんにちは！私(わたし)の名前(なまえ)はあねりす。がくせいです。

Give it a try :D

If you’ve been using the Japanese kana keyboard, you may have noticed that if you hold down a key there are extra options that are the same letter but with a dash or circle. These circles or dashes make the characters say different sounds. For example: か (ka) が (ga) And I don’t know if it’s just me but words with ぱぴぷぺ or ぽ always sound and look so cute! (All of those make p sounds)

Also if you’ve ever seen a small letter, that means short pronunciation. For example: にや (niya) versus にゃ (nya) you can get those smaller letters on a keyboard by holding down the key like you’re going to change it to a p, b, j, z etc sound. It will pop up looking exactly the same just above it but it does become smaller!

I hope this helped!

Hello learners!

This lesson is going to be about pronouns! In Japanese, all pronouns are ですincluding I, but, I has many other ways as well!

You are probably familiar with the word 私 (わたし) meaning I. This can be used by anyone! This is probably the safest option if you’re not sure what to say.

Another way to say I is おれ. This is used only by boys. If you like anime you may recognize this from one piece, ore wa Monkey D. Luffy!

The final way doesn’t have a gender similar to 私 (わたし) It is ぼく. Now ぼく is the exact same as 私 (わたし) but if you’re ever confused please use 私 (わたし)

With I over let’s talk about you. I probably has a lot more words for it but those were just some examples. I will give you two examples for you.

This one you probably know, “あなた” I think it has a kanji but I forgot what it is 😅. This one is a good one if you’re starting out speaking.

The second one (and last) that I will show is きみ. (This one also has a kanji but again 😅😅 I forgot.) This one is probably a better option. It is in a lot of media you will see and songs.

I hope this helps!! :)

Let’s say your friend is eating candy. You would want to say it’s yummy right? But that sounds like you stole their candy. Instead you would say it LOOKS yummy.

In Japanese you would say it looks by adding sou to the end of your adjective. For example 美味しいそう (おいしいそう) to say it LOOKS tasty.

You can use this for all adjectives accept for かわいい. かわいいそう means pathetic.
