(If you have any vocabulary books that you use, you could use those, please give me PDF files if you have them. Or if you know the title of the book, I would like to buy it.
I would like you to try to remember, as an example, 10 words a day and also make a short sentence using the words. Submit the audio file to me. I will check it.)
(Let’s have conversations on a variety of topics (hobbies, travel, food, music, movies, culture, books, academics, future dreams, what you ate yesterday, what you plan to do today, what you will do tomorrow, happy things that have happened recently, recent learning and thoughts, etc.).)
(Once you have answered, I would like to ask you further questions and dig deeper. It would be good if you could practice speaking Japanese (making sentences) with more dense content by adding specific information. What would you think?)
例(以下は、寿司をトピックにした場合の例です。3パターンを考えました。)(Below is an example of using sushi as a topic; three patterns were considered.)
1→私はすしが好き。マグロがとても好き。
2(より具体的に)(どこで?誰と?いつ?どんな気持ち? など)→私は去年の12月に東京のスシローに行きました。友達と2人でマグロを食べて、とてもおいしかったです。マグロには豊富にタンパク質が含まれているので、体の元になります。友達と食べながら、幸せな気持ちになりました。日本のお寿司はおいしいし、安いし、体にも良いからです。(In this pattern, I might ask you to speak a little more about your topic, for example, I understand you like sushi, and also, could you tell me when you ate, what your favorite taste is, do you have a similar restaurant near your home?, also, what is good point of eating sushi for you? and so on,,,)
3(「混む」「待つ」「以上」を使ってください)→昨日、大阪のスシローに行きました。お昼11時30分ごろ行ったのですが、とっても混んでいて、1時間以上待たされました!😓 (This pattern, I might ask you to use certain vocabularies or phrases you just learned recently, because it would be good practice if you try to use what you just learned.)
Before I finish, let me tell you about other materials(drama, comedy) which might interest you to learn and practice Japanese.
Anime→Sorry, I’m not sure about animation.
Drama→I will introduce one of very popular drama in Japan, recently, the title is 「架空OL日記
」
youtube intro is
This one is kind of woman talk in the office setting and comedy vibe. The main character, he is a popular comedian and he wrote the scenario.
Comedy show→
This is my favorite comedy. What they talk is not so violent, sensitive and easy to understand , with everyday Japanese. The duo’s name is Taka and Toshi.
another fun tv program called 月曜から夜ふかし(Getsuyo kara yofukashi)(“staying up late on Monday night”)
Do you know this one?
This is also fun program, I think.
Basically interviewing people on the street, most of what they talk is quite natural Japanese, some time they talk about a little stupid things.
This series is also available through Tver.
this is a short clip from YouTube
I didn’t mention the movies, but I’m glad if you share your favorite movie to work on, and maybe I can help you to practice some phrases in the movie.
