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
I referred to words (I marked with☆) and their translations from Page 142-143 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1, Translation & Grammar Notes – English. I added other words for learning.
body condition からだのちょうし karadanochoushi
a fictitious tea ☆ げんきちゃ genkicha
lonely ☆ さびしい sabishii
Things that people want to buy かいたいもの kaitaimono
stress ストレス sutoresu
reboot さいきどう saikidou
Step2 Grammar
So, Today’s grammar topic is “Plain Style (いAdjective) + とき”.
I cited below [*1] sentence and translation from Page 146 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 からだの ちょうしが わるい（PS, Pres Aff）とき、どうしますか。[*2]
karadano choushiga warui toki doshimasuka。
What do you do when you are under the weather?
[I think original sentence is あなたは からだのちょうしが わるいとき、どうしますか. The subject of whole sentence is あなた. The subject of Relative Pronoun is からだのちょうし. To distinguish 2 subjects, Main subject あなた has “は”, while subject in the Relative Pronoun has “が”. ]
B からだの ちょうしが わるい とき、 げんきちゃ」を のみます。[*1]
karadano choushiga warui toki、 Genki-cha wo nomimasu。
When I don’t feel very well, I drink ‘Genki-cha’. [*1]
[When it comes to いAdjective, we can use “Plain Style rule” as Relative Pronoun to explain とき. Thus, からだのちょうしが わるいです becomes からだの ちょうしが わるい as Plain Style, いAdjective, Present Affirmative.]
Step3 Speaking Exercise

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 (いAdjective) + とき” 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 (いAdjective) + とき” 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、ストレスが多い時、どうしていますか。
B: そうですね。ストレスを多く感じる時は、軽い運動をするようにしていますね。
A: 例えば、どんな運動をしていますか。
B: よくウォーキングをしていますよ。道具をそろえる必要もないし、お金もかからないし、一人で気軽にできますからね。週3-4回、1時間ぐらい歩いています。
A: へー、いいですね。私もやってみようかな。
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.
