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 64-65 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1, Translation & Grammar Notes – English. I also added other words.
laptop computer ノートパソコン nooto pasokon
Chiba prefecture ちばけん chibaken
back, behind ☆ うしろ usiro
front, before ☆ まえ mae
near, vicinity ☆ ちかく chikaku
next to よこ yoko
behind うら ura
between, among ☆ あいだ aida
Step2 Grammar
So, Today’s grammar topic is “―はーにあります。”.
I cited below [*1] sentences and translations from Page 68-69 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1, Translation & Grammar Notes – English. I added “[ ] My grammar interpretation”.
“☆☆Basic Example Dialogue”
A とうきょう ディズニーランドは どこに ありますか。 [*1]
toukyou dizunii rando wa dokoni arimasuka
Where’s Tokyo Disneyland? [*1]
[Last time, we learned “Placeに＋Nounが＋あります” to indicate description “There is Noun in Place.”
According to Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese1, (2012, p. 68), “The noun is positioned at the head of sentence and is marked withは. In this case, the noun must be something that both the speaker and listener are aware of”. So, we use はparticle and the pattern “Noun + は + Placeに あります。”]
B ちばけんに あります。 [*1]
chibaken ni arimasu。
It’s in Chiba prefecture. [*1]
[Full sentence is とうきょうディズニーランドは ちばけんに あります. We can use the above explained pattern “ディズニーランドNoun + は + ちばけんPlace + に+ あります。” using はparticle.]
Step3 Speaking Exercise
Watch the video. You can use Speaking 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 “―はーにあります。” 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 “―はーにあります。” 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: ミラーさんの通っている大学はどこにありますか。
B: 私の通っている大学は御茶ノ水にあります。大きなビルの中にあって、教室の設備も良いですし、学食も美味しいですよ。
A: 御茶ノ水なら、交通の便もいいから、便利ですね。JRでも行けるし、地下鉄でもいけますよね。
B: そうですね。普段、私は、JRで駅まで行っています。秋葉原も徒歩圏内なので、学校が終わったら、たまに遊びに行っていますよ。
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.
