Week 7

The topic for this week was asking directions, saying where things are, also days of the week and dates. I introduced a few simple kanji for recognition as well.

The information is mostly in the book, chapters 5 and 6, so make sure you read them and complete all the exercises. The information about dates is on blackboard.

HOMEWORK FOR FEEDBACK
I would like you to write a description of the place you live (or any place) saying what is there, where it is etc.
Use the phrases in the book as well as phrases from other sources (online etc) to make this paragraph.
It should be 50-70 characters long - in hiragana and katakana of course. Read the sheet on writing conventions that is on blackboard before you start!!

I will email feedback to you so keep a copy for yourself so you can see what I am talking about in the feedback.

JAPANESE LANGUAGE AND PEOPLE
There will be a showing of some episodes from this BBC programme in the first week back after Easter.
April 21st in Temple
April 22nd in the usual room.
Both from 5.30 onwards.

Although they are a bit dated, the information is still relevant and interesting.
