QUIZ IS COMING SOON! NOTEBOOK PAGES WILL BE DUE!

The next quiz will be on Tuesday, November 1.

For it, you will need to know:

• The 13 verbs from the verb Chart in Japanese and English
• How to recognize if a verb is CLASS I, CLASS II, or CLASS III
• How to change ANY verb into ANY Base (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ~TE, or ~TA)
• Verbs in Any of the ～ます tenses, i.e. ～ます、～ません、～ました、～ませんでした、～ましょう
• How to combine all that knowledge so you can read and create sentences like "I talked too much" (わたしははなしすぎました）or 私はけいたいをみすぎません (I do not look at my cellphone too much).

The notebook pages that will be do that day are:

• "want to verb" notebook page we did in class (BII+たい)
• TOO MUCH grammar page (BII+すぎる).

Here is the "TOO MUCH" handout.  すぎる

We will go through it together in class, and then we will make a notebook page together so you have it done.  　Just click here on すぎるfor the link.

If you need to be absent, check back for further updates about how to make this notebook page.

Japanese Toilet Etiquette

In order to avoid some awkwardness in Japan, and to gain some insight into Japanese ingenuity when it comes to saving money and being green, we should learn how to use a Japanese toilet.  In class we had an open-note quiz after this lecture.  If you missed class, make up the assignment by viewing the following material, and write a short synopsis of the differences in Japanese and American toilet use and turn in.

Here is the PowerPoint we used in class, and a video from Risa.

Verb Theory

Here are the various handouts and assignments for the verb theory explanation:

• Verb theory explanation
• Verb Chart Assignment  and blank Template for it  (This is the notebook assignment)

Check yourself - make sure you can identify if a verb is CLASS I, II, or III

Make sure you can change any verb (no matter which CLASS it may be) into its BASE 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, te, or ta forms.

Here are the self-tests for TE and TA bases if you want to check yourself.

Here is a video that explains the te Base a different way.  It may work better with some of your brains than my explanation did.  Click here.

Learn this vocabulary!!!

This is the verb chart again.  You need to cram all 13 words into your head any way that you can. pretend you will have a pop quiz over them any time we meet- because you just might.  You need to be able to read and write the words in their dictionary form (Base 3) and their English counterparts.  Click here for the chart as it appears on the wall, or open the notebook assignment link by clicking on it when it appears when I make the notebook assignment.

Here are the pics we practice the verbs with in class.

Here is our review sequence- what we just did, and what we're going to do.

Here is a drill sheet for the second half of Hiragana and Katakana.  if you turn it in as extra credit, please write that near your name.

Here is a vocabulary list as passed out in class.

Here is the dialogue assignment for class, and here is the example I read to you, as well as the questions that you answered with it.  if you did not turn it in or were absent, you can read this and answer the questions... provided you can read my hand writing.

Here are the first two notebook assignments, along with a blank calendar page, a kana chart for reference, and the "counter page"  that is also required.  If you lose the one I gave you, you can print this one out.

Last but not least, here is the TTPOV review.

The first quiz will cover  the first half of hiragana/katakana (a-no), family members, colors, ages, year in school,  sizes, likes and dislikes.

Here is the interview document you conducted with other students in the class to see if you could ask and answer basic questions.  Feel free to repeat if you like.

Here is the speedreading page, if you want to give that a shot on your own.  Practice reading aloud here, if no where else.

Also, here is the drill sheet for the first half of hiragana/katakana/.  If you missed it, lost it, dog ate it, or whatever, you can download it here, print, and submit.  if f you re-submit for extra-credit points, be sure to write  "e.c." by your name.

Welcome to Japanese 2.  I'll try to keep current assignments here for you to download.
