Week 2

This weeks topics were nationality and occupation.
You should be able to ask and answer yes/no questions about nationality

America jin desu ka
Hai sou desu / iie. igirisu jin desu

And also wh- questions about both topics:
O-kuni wa dochira desu ka
O-shigoto wa nan desu ka

Nan and dochira are so-called wh- question words because in English they begin with wh- what and where respectively.
There are resources on blackboard with additional vocabulary for these two topics.

Make sure you have completed all the exercises in chapters 1 and 2 including the "Now you're talking section"

You should also have learnt all the basic katakana by next week - there will be a small test. Don't forget there are materials in the resources room in the library (orange box on the high shelf that I showed you last night) for practicing katakana.

I am on campus on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon every week so if you have any questions or would like to talk to me about anything, get in touch and we can sort out a time.


Don't forget next Monday there will be a training session in the language lab from 4.30 - 5.30. Chexk out some head phones from the library desk on the ground floor. You could use this time to practice the "Now you're talking" sections and learn more about the lang lab system.
