Konbanwa, minna-san! Genki desuka?

Today, we learn about ‘tabemono’(food). ‘nani ga suki desuka?’

We got some new vocab about food. ‘niku’(meat), ‘sakana’(fish), ‘yasai’(vegetables), ‘kudamono’(fruits), ‘tamago’(eggs), ‘pan’(bread) and others. We also learnt about drinks too such as ‘koohi’(coffee), ‘ocha’(tea), ‘gyuunyuu’(milk) and others. According to the audio that sensei played in class, we can know how to ask people about their favorite food politely. we talk about our favorite foods with partners. We learn some new connectors and refresh the connectors that we have learn during these past few lesson. Then, it is about time for our activity in class.. In Japan, they use connectors depend on their usage. We use ‘wa’ to say nouns after that word. And ‘wa’ for negative thought such as ‘sakana wa sukijanai desu.’ So, we need to use this connectors to make complete sentences. We can offer drinks to our friend by asking ‘koohii, nomimasu ka?’ ’itsumo ban gohan o tabemasuka?’ ‘itadakimasu’- use before we eat the food to show gratitude. ‘gochisosama’- use after we eat to thank the food for filling our tummy. Sensei told us that these are the manners towards food shown by japanese people. We can use connectors ‘nado’ to state food more than three. After we done talking about our ‘asa gohan’(breakfast), the class dismissed. Huhu so many new vocabs >_<

And we got to learn a little bit of kanji. Sensei give some introduction on kanji. Actually kanji is originated from China. So, mainly that’s one of the reason why Japan and China are not really in a good term as China thought that Japan stole their writings and make their own. Kanji that we learn today is sakana, niku, tamago, mizu, tabemasu, and nomimasu.
