MY JAPANESE LESSONS GRADE 8

Adjectives are presented in a broad and simplified manner. Adjective lessons were explained fully from the kinds of adjectives, conjugations, adjective examples, adjective phrases, and sentences.

Verbs are considered by the Japanese as the most important part of speech. There are two ways of speaking and writing Japanese—the polite and non-polite manner. Politeness of a Japanese sentence of conversation can be expressed or shown through verbs. Verbs are the determining factor of your politeness that should be addressed when talking to senior and superiors. All lessons on this book about verbs are presented in polite manner. Verb lessons include verb examples, verb endings, verb ending pattern conjugations, and exercises.

This book also contains vocabularies to enrich yourself with Japanese words and their English meaning. Train yourself more of Hiragana writing which is also featured in this book. You will enjoy answering all the exercises because the patterns are explained fully. Test yourself of the review exercises that follow after each lesson to measure what you have learned.

MY JAPANESE LESSONS GRADE 10

by Manuel delos Santos

This book My Japanese Lessons, Lessons and Exercises, Grade 10 contains 14 Lessons starting with adverbs that the Japanese are fond of using, the kinds of adverbs, transforming adjectives to adverbs, and how the Japanese adverbs modify verbs.

Special attention must be given to Lesson 5 – The plain or non-polite form of verbs. Since my three (3) other books contained all polite forms, a learner needs to know also how to speak and write in a non-formal way. Japanese informal speaking is used when you are talking to children and friends. Japanese books, newspapers, and magazine are usually written in informal form.

Since you have mastered the Hiragana writing, its time for you to start with Katakana writing. Katakana characters are located at the back of the book. Katakana is used only in writing foreign related words. For example, your name must be written in Katakana, there are many English words borrowed by the Japanese from English. Those words need to be written in Katakana. Writing exercises were also included in the lesson.

Know what you like to do and don’t want to do in Lesson 4. This lesson that the Japanese always include in their daily conversation has patterns of conjugation, sentence examples, and exercises.

The Japanese must be informed of the important things that you do. Lesson 6 – Asking and giving permission and prohibition is also an important lesson.
