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.)
②Explanation of G2
Plain Style
When we have conversation with friends or family, we use “Plain style (Plain Form/Short Form)” as casual speaking style. Moreover, in specific types of writings such as essay, report or news article etc., we tend to use “Plain style”. Thus, we will check how to use “Plain Style”.
Plain Style for Group2 Verb
From Lesson1 to 19, we have learned です/ます form categorized into “Polite Style”. To introduce “Plain style” as a casual speaking way, we will compare “Polite style” and “Plain style” in dialogue Person A and B.
(Dialogue 1: Polite Style by using です/ます)
A1： にほんごを おしえますか。
Nihongo wo osie masuka
B1 はい、(にほんごを) おしえます。
hai, (nihongo wo) osiemasu
B2 いいえ、(にほんごを) おしえません。
iie, (nihongo wo) osiemaasen。
[We have already learned です/ます form. You can omit (にほんごを) in response Person B1 as affirmative and B2 negative response. ]
(Dialogue1’: Plain style for casual speaking way)
A1’ にほんごを おしえまする。↑
Nihongo wo osie ru
B1’ うん、(にほんごを) おしえ
ます る。
un (nihongo wo) osie ru。
B2’ ううん、(にほんごを) おしえ
ます ない。
uun、 (nihongowo) osie nai。
[I changed A1 to A1’ by using “Dictionary form” so I removed ます and put る. A1’ is question sentence so we have to raise the pitch at the end of sentence.
For Present Affirmative response, I changed B1 to B1’ by using “Dictionary form”. B1’ sounds an affirmative response in casual way. （I think putting よ at the end of sentence and うん、おしえるよ。sounds more natural in usual conversation.）
To make negative response B2, we can use “Nai Form + ない”. おしえ is Nai form, put ない and finally we can get おしえ ない as Plain style negative. You can also say おしえないよ.]
(Dialogue2: Polite Style, past tense)
A3 にほんごを おしえましたか。
Nihongo wo osie masitaka
B3 はい、(にほんごを) おしえました。
hai、(nihongo wo) osie masita。
B4 いいえ、(にほんごを) おしえませんでした。
iie (nihongowo) osie masen desita。
(Dialoguew2’: Plain style. past)
A3’ にほんごを おしえ ます
た。↑
Nihongo wo osie ta
B3’ うん、(にほんごを) おしえ ます た。
un、 (nihongowo) osie ta。
B4’ ううん、(にほんごを) おしえ ます なかった。
uun (nihongowo ) osie nakatta。
[I used Taform. To change from A3 to A3’ and B3 to B3’. I removed ます and put た.
To make past negative in Plain form, we can use Nai form = おしえ, put なかった and we can get おしえ なかった as Plain style past negative.
As you can see, “Plain style” consist of 4 elements “Dictionary form, Nai form+ない, Taform and Nai form+なかった” By using them, we can change ますform as Polite style to “Plain style”.]
