①Improvement of Speaking and Writing
こんにちは。モトです。I am Japanese and I am teaching Japanese. In this series, I will share my practice way for N5 Beginner and Intermediate level learners who want to review.
If learners are studying Japanese only for JLPT as test preparation, it might be difficult to improve speaking and writing Japanese actually, because the test does not cover Speaking and Writing. Thus, we set a Goal to improve Speaking and Writing in this series while learning JLPT N5 Beginner topics.
Features and Advantages
・While using Practice Sheet, we try to remember Question and Response sentences as Dialogue to learn how to use word and grammar. (Using story or dialogues, it could be easier to remember them efficiently.)
・It is also good to partially hide some words in tables in Practice Sheet by hand to check your progress or you can also change part of words and make another sentence like improvisation music.
・After Speaking, through making your sentences, you can improve Writing. (Based on your sentences, it is good to make your Practice Sheet and play Dialogues with other learners.)
・I will apply Minna no Nihongo to speaking and writing practice that covers almost all topics introduced by Genki so Genki user can also use this series.
(I will cite English translation from the textbook as it is, or I try to translate some expressions by myself. Now I am also learning English so my translation and explanation could be not correct or not natural, sorry for that.)
②Instruction of Exercise
Before Speaking & Writing
exercises, check vocabulary and grammar.
Step1 Vocabulary
I referred to words (I marked with☆) and their translations from Page 10-11 in Minna
No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1, Translation & Grammar
Notes – English. I will also add other words.
American (person)
amerikajin アメリカじん
☆teacher, instructor
sensei せんせい ☆
☆bank employee ginkouin ぎんこういん ☆
British (person) igirisujin イギリスじん
Thai (person) taijin タイじん
Mr/Ms. Yamada yamadasan やまださん
Japanese nihonjin にほんじん
civil servant koumuin こうむいん
French(Person) furansujin フランスじん
Italian(person) itariajin イタリアじん
Step2 Grammar
So,
Today’s grammar topic is “Noun1はNoun2ですか。
& はい/いいえ responses”.
While
I referred to “ミラーさんは アメリカ人ですか。”and “はい、アメリカ人です。” on Page 14 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1,
Translation & Grammar Notes – English, I used same grammar pattern and wrote
other sentences by combining other words like below [*1]. To make dialogue structure,
based on [*1] sentences, I wrote [*2] sentence as Person B’s line. I added “[ ]
My grammar interpretation”.
“☆☆Basic Example Dialogue”
A ベンさん は にほんじん ですか。[*1]
ben san wa
nihonnjin desu ka
Is Ben a Japanese?
[We have learned Grammar
pattern “NounはNounです” that is for affirmative sentence. Instead
of です, When we put ですか at the
end of sentence, we can make Yes/No question.]
B1 はい、 ベンさん は にほんじん です。 [*1]
hai、 Ben san wa nihonjin desu。
Yes, he is.
[Afterはい=Yes, just Affirmative sentence “NounはNounです” comes.]
B2 いいえ、 ベンさん は にほんじん じゃありません。 [*2] iie、 Ben sanwa nihon jin ja arima
sen。 No, he isn’t.
[Afterいいえ=No, just Negative sentence “NounはNounじゃありません” comes.]
Step3 Speaking Exercise
Watch the video. You can use Speaking Practice Sheet.
“Practice Sheet”

Step4 Writing Exercise
(W1), Read the above “☆☆Basic Example Dialogue” between Person A and B. The Dialogue contains Grammar topic in each time.
(W2), Try to make your dialogue between Person A&B like “☆☆Basic Example Dialogue”. In your dialogue, please try to use this time grammar topic “Noun1はNoun2ですか。 & はい/いいえ responses” appropriately. Millions of mistakes are necessary for improvement, so you do not have to hesitate.
N5 level learner, if you have difficulty to write Dialogue style sentence, it is OK to write single sentences with grammar topic and OK to use only Hiragana. (It is easy-to-read to make space between word and word).
(W3), It is good to ask your teacher or Japanese friends to correct your sentences.
“For Intermediate Level Learners”
(W4) See the below “☆Advanced Example Dialogue”. Like the example, try to use this time Grammar topic “Noun1はNoun2ですか。 & はい/いいえ responses” at least once and make your original Dialogue. In other words, if you just use the topic at least once, you do not have to use the topic anymore and you can make your dialogue freely. It is also OK to add more Person A&B part to make longer Dialogue.
“☆Advanced Example Dialogue”
A: チンさんはイギリス人ですか。
B:はい、チンさんはイギリス人ですよ。彼は、1990年にロンドンに引っ越して、商売を始めて、国籍を取得したそうです。
[I used the topic here.]
A:へーそうですか。じゃあ、チンさんの息子さんもイギリス人ですか。
B:いいえ、彼はイギリス人じゃありません。日本で結婚して、日本の国籍を持っています。
[I also used the topic here as No-Response.]
So, like this, while using Today’s grammar topic, write your dialogue and if you add [ ] explanation and English translation, it will be helpful to understand and correct your sentences.

have a difficulty to find out someone to correct your sentences and want to ask
me to correct your sentences, check my “Moto Writing Doujou”.)
