(L20-0-3 does not have any Speaking and Writing exercises. They have only explanation of Plain style G1 verb.)
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 G1
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 Group 1 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.
(Dialogue1: Polite Style by using です/ます)
A1 りょうりを つくり（i） ますか。
ryouriwo tsukuri masuka
B1 はい、 つくります。
hai tsukurimasu
B2 いいえ、つくりません。
iie tsukurimasen
[We have already learned です/ます like above sentences.]
(Dialogue1’: Plain style for casual speaking way)
A1’ りょうりを つくる。↑
ryouriwo tsukuru
B1’ うん、 つくる。
un tsukuru
B2’ ううん、 つくら（a）ない。
uun, tsukura nai
[To make present affirmative in plain style, we can use “Dictionary form” so つくりますか in A1 becomes つくる in A1’. A1’ is question sentence so we have to raise the pitch at the end of sentence.
To make Present Affirmative response, I changed B1 to B1’ by using “Dictionary form” so つくります becomes つくる in B1’. （I think putting よ at the end of sentence うん、つくるよ。sounds more natural in usual conversation.）
To make negative response, we can use “Nai Form + ない”. つくら is Nai form, put ない and finally we can get つくら ない as Plain style negative in B2’. You can also say ううん、つくらないよ.]
(Dialogue2: Polite Style, past tense)
A３ りょうりを つくり ましたか。
ryouri wo tsukuri masitaka
B３ はい、 つくり ました。
hai tsukuri masita
B４ いいえ、つくり ませんでした。
iie tsukuri masendesita
(Dialoguew2’: Plain style, past)
A3’ りょうりを つく った。↑
ryouri wo tsuku tta。
B3’ うん、 つく った。
un tsuku tta
B4’ ううん、 つくら なかった。
uun、 tsukura nakatta。
[To make past question, we can use Taform so Tafom of つくります is “つくった”. Finally, we can get “りょうりを つくった。”as Plain style past question in A3’. We raise the pitch at the end of sentence.
To make past affirmative, we can use Taform so つくったis Plain style past affirmative in B3’. You can also say うん、つくったよ.
To make past negative in Plain form, we can use Nai form =つくら, put なかった and we can getつくら なかった as Plain style past negative. You can also say ううん、つくらなかったよ.
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 to “Plain style”.]
