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

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.

If you'd like to relive the exciting music video, click here for the link.

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 where it appeared last week when I made the notebook assignment.

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

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.
