When using this book, please bear in mind the following guidelines: . 2. 3. 4. 1 Listen carefully to the teacher's correct pronunciation in class. Practice speaking aloud in class under the teacher's guidance. During lessons, try to rely as little as possible on looking at the textbook. When reviewing the material on your own, practice speaking aloud. It's important to repeat things over and over again. It's not enough simply to look at the book and work out the meaning of the sentence. Each lesson is made up of the following: 1 . Dialogues. 2 . English translation of the dialogue, and illustrations of the dialogues help you understand the context. 3 . New Words and Expressions. 4 . Grammatical notes. 5 . Exercise. The exercise in each lesson contains the following elements: Substitution drills: Replace the underlined word(s) with other expressions provided. (2) After the drills, imagine situations you will come across and practice by making use of those sentences and expressions. (3) At the end of each lesson, you will be able to express yourself in a short composition by using the sentence patterns and words you have learned in the lesson.

Ohayo gozaimasu. Good morning. Can be used up to about 10 a.m. 2 . Konnichiwa. Hello. /Good afternoon. Use this expression after 10 a.m. and during the afternoon. Like many expressions in Japanese, only part of a full sentence is used, the rest being implied by the situation. For instance, "It's nice today, isn't it?" or "It's cold today." In fact, commenting on the weather often substitutes for a more formal greeting, particularly among friends. 3 . Konbanwa. Good evening. Use after around 5 p.m. This expression evolved in the same way as “Konnichiwa". 4 . Sayōnara. Good - bye. This expression is used mainly among close friends or colleagues, or by older people to their juniors. It's never used between members of the same family. 5 . Oyasuminasai. Good night. This is an appropriate expression to use when saying good-bye late at night, either in person or on the telephone. 6 . Dewa, mata. (Ja, mata.) See you. This is often used by close friends or colleagues when parting. It can also be used to say good-bye on the telephone. 7 . Itte rasshai. Good-bye. This is used to say good-bye to someone who is going away and coming back to the same place. For instance, a mother will say it to her children as she sends them off to school. 8 . Itte kimasu. Good-bye. This is what the person going out says to whoever is staying at home. It can also be used when leaving your place of work on a short business trip. 9. Tadaima. I'm back. This is what a member of a family calls out to the rest of the family as soon as getting back home from school, work, shopping, etc. As often happens in Japanese, the verb is left out because the meaning is obvious: "I've come home right now." 10. Okaerinasai. Welcome home. This is the standard way of replying to "Tadaima". 11. Omedeto gozaimasu. Congratulations. 12. Dōmo arigatō gozaimasu. Thank you very much. This is a very polite way of thanking someone. It can be shortened and made more casual by saying "Arigatō gozaimasu" or "Arigatō". An even more casual way of saying "thank you", particularly among friends, is to say simply "Dōmo". 13. Dō itashimashite. You're welcome./Don't mention it. This is a polite way of replying to someone who has either thanked you or apologized for something. A less formal reply is simply "lie". 14. Sumimasen. Excuse me. This expression is used to get someone's attention, to apologize for a minor mistake, or to express appreciation for receiving someone's kindness. 15. Onegai-shimasu. Please./Could you do me a favor? This expression is used when you ask for something to be served or done for you. 16. (O) ki o tsukete. Take care. This is a friendly way of telling someone to take care (not to catch cold, have an accident, etc.). When somebody already has caught a cold or has some other minor illness, the expression to use is "Odaiji ni". 17. Itadakimasu. Thank you. Use this whenever about to start a meal. If you are a guest, it should be addressed directly to your host as a way of thanks. Even in a group where everyone has paid for his own meal, most people will say "Itadakimasu" before starting to eat. It's also a polite way of thanking someone for a small gift. 18. Gochisosama deshita. Thank you./It was delicious. This is the way to thank your host for a meal after eating. In a coffee shop, if someone insists on paying for your drink, you should say "Gochisōsama deshita" as you leave. You can also use it to thank the waiter in a restaurant. 19. Ogenki de. Look after yourself. This is a friendly way of saying good-bye to someone you don't see very often or who's going away on a trip. It can also be used at the end of a letter to sign off. 20. Ganbatte kudasai. Good luck. Keep up the good work. This expression is used by older people to encourage their junior colleagues in their efforts. 21. Shitsurei-shimasu. Excuse me. This is an extremely useful expression that can be used in a wide variety of situations —when entering a room, when leaving, or when asking someone to move aside. "O-saki ni shitsurei-shimasu" is used when leaving a group of people before everybody else. So in Japanese, this one expression can be used to replace a variety of phrases, such as "May I come in?", "I must be going", and "May I come through7" In the past tense, "Shitsurei-shimashita" is a straightforward apology. 22. O-genki desu ka. How are you? This is not like the greeting in English "How are you?", but rather is used only among people who haven't met for a long time. 23. Daijobu desu. No problems./O.K./All right. Use this when mentioning the condition of one's work, health, etc. 24. Osewa ni narimashita. Thank you for your kindness. This expression is used when a great favor has been granted to you. [CLASSROOM EXPRESIONS] 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. Hajimemashō.

N wa na-adj. 1. desu. Kono kamera wa yasui desu. [This camera is cheap.] Maria-san wa shinsetsu desu. [Maria is kind.] There are two kinds of adjectives, the ‘i-adjectives' and the 'na-adjectives'. In most cases, those that end with the V sound are t-adjectives, although there are some exceptions like ‘kirei' which belong to the rca-adjective category. Both adjectives are used as the predicates of sentences and as the modifiers of following nouns. i-adj. N na-adj. na 2. oishii ringo [a delicious apple] shinsetsu na hito [a kind person] In Japanese, both kinds of adjectives always come before their modifying nouns. The difference between the i-adj. and the na-adj. is that the i-adj. uses the same form to modify a noun, while the na-adj. takes 'na’ between the adjective and the noun. yasui sētā. Kore wa yasui sētā desu. [a cheap sweater] [This is a cheap sweater.] kirei na sētā Kore wa kirei na sētā desu. [a pretty sweater] [This is a pretty sweater.] nai desu. i-adj.ku arimasen. 3. Kono kamera wa yasui desu. [This camera is cheap.] Maria-san wa shinsetsu desu. [Maria is kind.] There are two negative forms. The nai-form is widely used in informal 'plain style' speech. The negative forms are made as follows : (Drop ‘i’ and add 'ku + nai desu/arimasen') takai takai taka + taka + ku + ku + nai desu arimasen takaku nai desu takaku arimasen The i-adjective 'ii' ("good") has a more formal form 'yoi' which is always used to make the negative, as follows: yoi yo + ku + nai desu yoku nai desu nai desu. i-adj.ja yoi 4. arimasen. yo + ku + Kore wa kirei ja nai desu. [This is not clean/pretty.] Kore wa kirei ja arimasen. arimasen yoku arimasen [This is not clean/pretty.] The negative form of the na-adjective is made by replacing 'desu’ with its negative form 'ja arimasen’ or 'ja nai desu.'. N wa dō desu ka. 5. 'dō’ in this case is an interrogative pronoun to ask for someone's impression. Q: Hoteru wa dō desu ka. A: Totemo ii desu. Donna N desu ka. 6. 'donna’ is an interrogative pronoun to ask the state of an object. For example, the answer to the question 'Donna hon desu ka' could be "a detective story" or "a small, thin book". [What do you think of the hotel?] Nihon-go no kurasu wa dō desu ka. [How do you like the Japanese language class?] [It's very good.] Bandon wa donna tokoro desu ka.

Mado o akete kudasai. [ Please open the window.] Te-form of verbs : the three groups of verbs were introduced in Lesson 9, where the dictionary form was introduced. The te-form is used in many ways with supplementary words, for instance. ‘Verb-te kudasai' is used to express a request ; 'Verb-te imasu’ ( Lesson 13) is used to express conditions or states. 2 . The te-form of verbs are made as follows : ☆Godan-verbs : kaimasu  machimasu  norimasu  kakimasu  isogimasu  yobimasu  shinimasu/  nomimasu  kashimasu  ikimasu  mimasu okimasu tabemasu akemasu ka ma no ka iso yo shi no kash i i mi oki tabe ake ki shi + tte + tte + tte + ite + ide + nde + nde + nde + te  katte  matte  notte  kaite  isoide  yonde  shinde  nonde  kashite  itte add 'te’ .)  mite  okite  tabete  akete  kite  shite (to buy) (to wait) (to get on) (to write) (to hurry) (to call) (to die) (to drink) (to lend) (to go) (to see) (to get up) (to eat) (to open) (to come) (to do) + tte + + + + te te te te ☆lchidan-verbs (drop 'masu’ and     ☆lrregular verbs : kimasu  shimasu  + te + te N de V-masu. 3.

Ima tegami o kaite imasu. [Now I am writing a letter.] This pattern is made by adding 'imasu’ to the te-form of a verb. It describes in a broad sense a state, what people are doing, or how things are going. It indicates actions in progress, one's habitual activities, etc., roughly corresponding to English "be V-ing".
