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
In what situation どんなとき donna toki
Subject has a headache Subjectは ずつう です Subject wa zutsuu desu
a headache ずつう zutsuu
To have a cold Subjectは かぜ です Subject wa kaze desu
highschool student こうこうせい koukousei
To divorce りこんします rikonsimasu
terrible ひどい hidoi
Step2 Grammar
So, Today’s grammar topic is “Noun+ の +とき”.
While I referred to “妻が病気の時、会社を休みます。” on Page 146 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] Question sentence as Person A’s line. I added “[ ] My grammar interpretation”.
“☆☆Basic Example Dialogue”
A どんなとき、 びょういんへ いきますか。 [*2]
donna toki byouin he ikimasuka
In what situation do you go to a hospital?
[When people say びょういん, people do not usually distinguish “hospital” and “clinic” in Japan. So, びょういん indicates both in Japanese.]
B わたしは ひどい かぜ の とき、びょういんへ いきます。 [*1]
watasi wa hidoi kaze no toki byouin he ikimasu
When I catch a terrible cold, I go to a hospital.
[We have applied Plain Style to Verb and いAdjective to explain “とき” as Relative Pronoun. However, for some reason, we cannot apply Plain Style to なAdjective and Noun to explain “とき”. Desu/Masu sentence is わたしは ひどい かぜです. Plain Style Noun, Present Affirmative is わたしは ひどい かぜ だ. Instead of だ, we put の connecting to とき. You can omit わたしは.
By using いAdjective we can paraphrase the above sentence with “わたしは かぜが ひどい（Plain style いAdjective） とき、 びょういんへ いきます。”]
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 “Noun+ の+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 “Noun+の+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: いつ、ベンさんはカリナさんと離婚したか知っていますか。
B: ベンさんは30歳の時、離婚したらしいですよ。性格の違いや、金銭感覚の違いが原因らしいです。
A: なるほど、たしかにベンさんは、毎晩、飲みに行くし、車も何度も買い替えているので、お金の管理が得意じゃなさそうですね。
B: ベンさんもそれに気がついていて、なんとか、悪い癖をなおそうとしているらしいですよ。
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.
