USE Japanese for FUN.

楽しんで話します。

USE Japanese. Yes but in what context? Well mostly we are learning Japanese that can be used between students in classroom settings. Which is why last term was focussing on asking for things, passing things and talking about what you have.

Let's USE Japanese for FUN.

Last time we learned how to invite someone to play. Now we are negotiating what to play. If you are following along carefully, you will notice that I said ‘asonde’ was ‘play’, and now I have used ‘asobu’ for ‘play’. This is where the mind needs to be flexible, and we become curious about understanding language structures. So if the verb is the last word of the sentence, then it is ‘asobu’. If another word attaches to it, then ‘te-form’ is used, so it is ‘asonde’ because we added ‘kudasai’. In homegroup 1, we just practise the phrase. In homegroup 2 we talk more about the language structures.
