Welcome to たべもの, Foods!
How many characters can you recognize? Japanese kids love to bring such cute and funny lunch boxes to the kindergarten. In this unit, we are going to learn to talk about mealtimes and foods that we like to eat
You must keep in mind that fluency in Japanese (or any foreign language) does not happen over night. It may seem to be a very slow process to you but it is one that is achieved the more you practice and seek ways to use your new skills.
In Food you will:
- learn to order food and converse in a restaurant
- learn about a verb form, so called “てform” of verbs
- learn expressions to make requests using ～てform
- learn about dining habits in Japan
As you work, keep in mind the symbols that will help you to remember what it is you are going to be doing throughout the course. If you have forgotten those, you can look back at them to keep them in mind.
