[✐1.2] V(ます) + たくないです I don’t want to …
“I don’t want to do anything.”
[00:07]
Hello everyone. How are you doing? I don’t feel like doing anything today. Don’t you have such a day?
[00:17]
Let’s practice “〜takunaidesu(don’t want to)”.
Repeat after me
[00:23]
1. go [Masu form] – ikitakunaidesu
2. buy [Masu form] – kaitakunaidesu
3. eat [Masu form] – tabetakunaidesu
4. see/watch [Masu form] – mitakunaidesu
5. do [Masu form] – shitakunaidesu
[01:03]
So far so good?
Repeat after me
[01:07]
1. I don’t want to get out of the bed.
2. I don’t want to wash my face.
3. I don’t want to brush my teeth.
4. I don’t want to shave.
5. I don’t want to take off my pyjamas.
6. I don’t want to eat breakfast.
[02:08]Ah, even so, I’d love to have a cup of coffee.
Repeat after me
[02:16]
1. I don’t want to clean the room.
2. I don’t want to do the laundry.
3. I don’t want to mow the grass.
4. I don’t want to replace the light bulb.
5. I don’t want to cook.
[03:12]
Now, make a sentence with the opposite meaning.
For example,
[03:18]
I want to drink coffee.
→ I don’t want to drink coffee.

You start speaking as soon as you hear it (or with a bit of delay if you’re confident), like a shadow.
[09:35] slow tempo
[10:19] normal tempo

Note: English translations might sound occasionally unnatural as English, as I try to preserve the structure and essence of the original Japanese. I hope it also helps you to capture the pattern of the sentence structure.
