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
No learning words
Step2 Grammar
So, Today’s grammar topic is “Plain style＋といいます or といいました。”.
While I referred to “ミラーさんは 東京へ出張すると言いました。”on Page 134 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1, Translation & Grammar Notes – English, I used same grammar pattern and wrote another sentence by combining other words like below [*1]. To make dialogue structure, based on [*1] sentence, I wrote [*2] sentences as Person A&B’s lines. I added “[ ] My grammar interpretation”.
“☆☆Basic Example Dialogue”
A たなかさんは なんと いいましたか。[*2] tanakasan wa nanto iimasitaka
What did Mr. Tanaka say?
[You can also say たなかさんは なんと いっていましたか.（I think it sounds more natural.）]
B たなかさんは あたらしいスマホを かう(PS-Dictio) といいました。[*1]
tanakasan wa atarasii sumafo wo kau to iimashita。
Mr. Tanaka said that he would buy new smartphone.
[たなかさんは あたらしい スマホをかいますis a sentence that we have already learned. When we want to put it into “といいましたSubject said that-”, we can change かいます to かう as “Plain Style, Dictionary Form.” to express Present Affirmative. The tense of whole sentence is decided by the end of sentence.“いいました” is past tense so the tense of whole sentence is past.]
B たなかさんは あたらしいスマホを かわない(Nai+ない) といいました。[*2]
tanakasan wa atarasii sumafo wo kawanai to iimashita。
Mr. Tanaka said that he would not buy new smartphone.
[たなかさんは あたらしい スマホをかいません is a sentence that we have already learned. When we want to put it into “といいましたSubject said that-”, we can change かいません to かわない as “Plain Style, Nai Form +ない.” to express Present Negative. ]
[To express Past Affirmative and Negative, we can change ―かいました to “かった（Taform） といいました。”. And also change かいませんでした to “かわ なかった（Nai form+なかった） といいました。”.]
[α：たなかさんは あたらしいスマホを かうと いいました。I think this one means Tanaka said “I will buy new one” so he just said he has a plan to buy.
β：たなかさんは あたらしいスマホを かったと いいました。 This means Tanaka said “I bought new one”. ]

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 “Plain style＋といいます or といいました。” 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 “Plain style＋といいます or といいました。” 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: ベンさんは何と言いましたか。
B: ベンさんは鈴木さんにもうお金を貸さないと言いましたよ。
A: やはりそうですよね。鈴木さんはベンさんから何回もお金を借りて、まだ全額返していないですからね。
B: 流石に温和なベンさんも怒りますよね。
A： 鈴木さんは、お金にだらしがないですからね。
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.
