(L20-0-4 does not have any Speaking and Writing exercises. They have only explanation of Plain style いAdjective.)
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 いAdjective
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 いAdjective
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 このシャツは ちいさい ですか。
kono shatsuwa chiisai desuka
B１ はい、ちいさい です。
hai, chiisai desu
B２ いいえ、ちいさ い くないです
iie chiisa kunaidesu
[We have already learned です/ます like above sentences.]
(Dialogue1’: Plain style for casual speaking way)
A１‘ このシャツは ちいさいですか。↑
kono shatsuwa chiisai
B１’ うん、 ちいさい です。
un、 chiisai
B２’ ううん、ちいさ い くないです。
uun chiisa kunai
[To make present affirmative in plain style, we just remove ですか so ちいさいですか in A1 becomes ちいさい 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 removing です, so ちいさいです becomes ちいさい in B1’. You can also say うん、ちいさいよ.
To make negative response, we remove です so ちいさ くないです in B2 becomes ちいさ くない as Plain style negative in B2’. You can also say ううん、ちいさくないよ.]
(Dialogue2: Polite Style, past tense)
A3 このシャツは ちいさ い かったですか。
kono shatsuwa chiisa kattadesuka
B3 はい、ちいさ い かったです。
hai, chiisa kattadesu
B4 いいえ、ちいさい くなかったです。
iie chiisa kunakatta desu
(Dialoguew2’: Plain style, past)
A3’ このシャツは ちいさ い かったですか。↑
kono shatsuwa chiisa katta
B3’ うん、ちいさ い かったです。
un, chiisa katta
B4’ ううん、ちいさ い くなかったです。
uun chiisa kunakatta
[To make past question in Polite Style, we remove ですか so ちいさかったですか in A3 becomes ちいさかったin A3’. We raise the pitch at the end of sentence.
To make past affirmative, we remove です so ちいさかったです in B3 becomes ちいさかったin B3’. You can also say うん、ちいさかったよ.
To make past negative in Plain form, we remove です so ちいさくなかったです in B4 becomes ちいさくなかったin B4’. You can also say ううん、ちいさくなかったよ.]
