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
to remember おぼえます oboemasu
new years greeting card ねんがじょう nengajyou
To send, submit だします dasimasu
the New Year season おしょうがつ osyougatsu
Step2 Grammar
So, Today’s grammar topic is “Nounの まえに”.
I cited below [*1] sentence and translation from Page 117 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1 Translation & Grammar Notes – English. To make dialogue structure, based on [*1] sentence, I wrote [*2] Question sentence as Person A’s line. I added “[ ] My grammar interpretation”.
“☆☆Basic Example Dialogue”
A いつ てを あらいますか。 [*2]
itsu tewo araimasuka
When do you wash your hands?
[There is no subject and context so I can also interpret this sentence as “When do I have to wash my hands?”]
B1 しょくじを する(Dform) まえに、てを あらいます。
shokuji wo suru maeni tewo araimasu
[Last time, we learned “Dictionary form(DF) +まえに” ＝Before doing something.]
B2 しょくじ の まえに、てを あらいます。[*1]
shokuji no maeni tewo araimasu。
I wash my hands before eating. [*1]
[The meaning of B2 is same as B1. This time, we can say same things by using “Noun の ＋ まえに”. In the video, we will practice “1しゅうかん まえに=a week ago”. When Number + time expression comes, we do not put の before まえに. So, we do not say 1しゅうかん の まえに,]
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 “Nounの まえに” 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 “Nounの まえに” 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: Bさんはいつ昼ごはんを食べましたか。
B: 駅には1時間早くついたので、集合時間の前に、天丼をたべましたよ。Aさんは、もう食べましたか。
A: はい、私も、早めに着いたので、駅の立ち食いそば屋さんで、親子丼とかけ蕎麦のセットをたべました。親子丼は美味しかったんですが、かけ蕎麦はあまり美味しくなかったです。
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.
