「 Let’s talk with me! 」

[00:06]

Everyone, good morning, good day(hello), good evening!

[00:11]

It’s a bit different today. Now answer as follows.

[00:18]

How do you do. I’m Yoko.

→ How do you do. I’m (your name).

[00:25]

1.  How do you do.  I’m Yoko.

→ How do you do.  I’m (your name).

2.  Where are you from?

→ I’m from (your country or city).

3.  Nice to meet you.

→ Nice to meet you.

[00:50]

Actually “yoroshiku“ is a very convenient phrase and you might hear a lot in different situations.  It could mean; “Nice to meet you.”,”I’m looking forward to working with you.”, “Thank you in advance.”, “Please take care of this/someone.”, ”I’m counting on you.”

Meanwhile, “douzo” means “Please.”, “Here you are.” or “Go ahead.” You might hear it a lot, too.

[01:23]

We continue practicing.

Repeat after me

[01:28]

1.  I understand a little Japanese.

2.  I am studying Japanese.

3.  I have studied Japanese.

2.  I have been studying a year or so.

3.  (only just) since yesterday. (kidding!)

Meanwhile, “どうぞ” means “please”, “here you are” or “go ahead”. You might hear it a lot, too.

Hello, everyone.

“〜okimasu/〜oite” has three meanings (=nuance) depends on the context;  a) as advance preparation, b) for the next use, and c) leave it as it is”.

[00:23]

Let’s warm up with “〜oite” first.

Repeat after me

[00:29]

1.  Please write. / Please write [beforehand].

2.  Please read. / [as advance preparation]

3.  Please open. / [leave it as it is]

4.  Please close. / [leave it as it is]

5.  Please turn on. / [leave it as it is]

6.  Please turn off. / [leave it as it is]

7.  Please wash. /  [for the next use]

8.  Please put away. / [for the next use]

9.  Please put back in place. / [for the next use]

10.  Please leave it. / Please leave it as it is.*

(*No big difference but the latter gives a nuance of “permanent”.)

[02:47]

Now, change ”masu form” into “te form” plus “〜okimasu”.

For example,

Kakimasu(write)  → kaite okimasu

[02:59]

Ready?

[03:00]

1.  go

2.  buy

3.  learn

4.  drink

5.  read

6.  decide

7.  arrange/line up

8.  clear up/clean up/tidy

[04:35]

Now make a sentence as follows.

For example,

ticket, buy

→ Please buy a ticket [in advance].
************************************************************************
「ほっといて」

[00:06]

みなさん、こんにちは。

「〜おきます/〜おいて」 has three meanings  (=nuance) depends on the context; a) as advance preparation, b) for the next use, and c) leave it as it is”。

[00:23]

まず、「〜おいて」で、ウォーミングアップしましょう。

Repeat after me

[00:29]

1.  かいてください / かいて おいて ください

[✐1. Adagio] Telling what you want to do.

“I want to do this and that!”

[00:06]

Hello, everyone.  Let’s start.

Repeat after me

[00:11]

1.  study [masu form] > want to study

→ I want to study Japanese more.

2.  Play a game

→ I want to play a new game.

3.  eat

→ I want to eat Tempura.

4.  see/watch/look

→ I want to see a musical.

5.  go to bed

→ I want to go to bed soon/early.

6.  go

→ I want to go to Kamakura.

7.  listen/hear

→ I want to hear your story.

8.  buy

→ I want to buy a pair of headphones.

9.  drink

→ I want to drink Chu-hai*.

(chu-hai= light alcohol drinks mixed with carbonated water etc. For details check out this link : https://www.tsunagujapan.com/10-japanese-chu-hai-you-can-buy-at-convenience-stores/ )

[02:28]

Now, answer as follows.

For example;

Do you want to drink Japanese tea? No.

→ No I don’t want to drink.

[02:39]

Ready?

[02:41  ]

1.  Do you want to practice Kanji? No.

No, I don’t want to practice.

2.  Do you want to play baseball? No.

No, I don’t want to play.

3.  Do you want to see a horror movie? No.

No, I don’t want to see.

[03:30]

To be honest, those answers sound a bit harsh for Japanese people. When we want to politely say no, we probably say「Iie, chotto…」or｢iie, Iidesu.

[03:45]

For example,

Do you want to play football/soccer?

IIe, chotto…(well, I don’t’ know…).

[03:52]

Next is “I want to do nothing”.

Repeat after me

[03:57  ]

1.  Do you want to go somewhere? No, nowhere

→ No, I don’t want to go anywhere.

2.  Do you want to drink something? No, nothing

→ No, I don’t want to drink anything.

3.  Do you want to watch something on TV? No, nothing

→ No, I don’t want to watch anything.

[04:55]

By the way, when you want to suggest some kind of action, you’d better use ｢〜masenka｣, instead of ｢〜tai｣。

[05:05]

For example,

Do you want to come to my place?   :-(

Why don’t you come to my place?     :-)

→ あたらしいゲームをしたいです。

3.  たべます > たべたい

4.  みます > みたい

では、つぎのように、こたえましょう。

たとえば、

にほんちゃを のみたいですか。

いいえ

→ いいえ、のみたくないです。

[02:39]

いいですか。

[02:41]
