みんなの日本語L11-11：こんにちは。I am Japanese. To study English, I am teaching Japanese in English. Write your sentences with “一ヶ月に何回（いっかげつになんかい）”. Or write your sentences with a grammar topic that you chose from the List. I will check your sentences for JLPT N5 Beginner and Intermediate learners.

**①Improvement of Writing and Speaking**

こんにちは。I am Japanese. To study English, I am teaching Japanese in English. In this series, I will share my practice way for N5 Beginner and Intermediate level learners who want to write sentences as review.

This series also contains Speaking exercise for Beginner level. Usually, beginners could have difficulty to judge which topic is more important. From viewpoint of Japanese, I will pick up more important and skip less important grammar topics. So, you can save time. This could be shortcut.

If you try to write your answer in accordance with below “②Instruction of Exercise” and post them in “48 hours” from posting this thread, I try to comment and check your sentences. Although I cannot respond to all (Especially, off topic) because I have limitation of time, I try to comment. Also welcome SNS and Reddit account follow.

​

**②Instruction of Exercise**

If you are N5 Beginner level, start from “**Procedure 1”**. If you are intermediate level learner, see **“Procedure 2”**. (If you want to choose other grammar topic, **see ④**)

​

**“Procedure１ for Beginner Level”**

(Step1): Check “Vocabulary” meaning in the list from the below link.

(Step2): Check and understand “Grammar” from the below link.

(Step3)：You can check　“Speaking Practice Video” in the below link and get used to how to use appropriately this time grammar topic to make sentence. You can also check “Practice Sheet”. You can use it for your speaking practice.

​

(Step4): Writing Exercise:

(W1) Read “☆Basic Example Dialogue” between Person A&B below. The Dialogue contains Grammar Topic “一ヶ月に何回（いっかげつになんかい）”.

(W2) Try to make your dialogue between Person A&B like “☆Basic Example Dialogue”. In your dialogue, please try to use this time grammar topic “一ヶ月に何回（いっかげつになんかい）” appropriately. Millions of mistakes are necessary for improvement, so you do not have to hesitate.

N5 level learner, if you have difficulty to write Dialogue style sentence, it is OK to write single sentences with grammar topic and also OK to use only Hiragana. (It is easy-to-read to make space between word and word).

(W3) Post and share your dialogues in 48 hours from posting this thread.

​

**“Procedure 2 for Intermediate Level”**

(W4) Like below “☆Advanced Example Dialogue”, try to use this time Grammar topic **“**一ヶ月に何回（いっかげつになんかい）**”** **at least once** and make your original Dialogue. In other words, if you just use the topic at least once, you do not have to use the topic anymore and you can make your dialogue freely. It is also OK to add more Person A&B part to make longer Dialogue.

(W5) Post your Dialogue in 48 hours from posting this thread.

​

**③Example Dialogues**

I cited below \[\*1\] sentences from Page 94, Lesson 11, 練習B-5 in みんなの日本語 初級Ⅰ第Ⅱ版 本冊. I added “\[ \] My grammar interpretation”.

​

**“☆Basic Example Dialogue”**

A: 1かげつ に　なんかい　 えいがを みますか。 \[\*1\]

ikkagetsu ni nankai eiga wo mimasuka

How many times a month do you watch movies?

\[When we want to ask frequency of action in a period, we can use this pattern “period expression　＋　に　なんかい　＋　Verbしますか。”\]

B: 1かい みます。\[\*1\]

Ikkai mimasu

I watch a movie once a month.

\[Full sentence is “1かげつ に　 1かい　えいがを みます。”. The pattern is “period expressionに　＋　Number　かい　＋　Verbします。”.\]

​

**“☆Advanced Example”**

A: １ヶ月に何回（なんかい）、スーパーへ行きますか。

B: 1ヶ月に４回、行きます。一人暮（ひとりぐ）らしなので、食料（しょくりょう）や、生活必需品（せいかつひつじゅひん）を毎週、１週間分（いっしゅうかんぶん）だけ買うようにしています。毎回、野菜、肉、魚、麺類（めんるい）、卵（たまご）、おかし、ティッシュペーパーなどを買います。Aさんは、どのくらいの頻度（ひんど）で行きますか。

A:　私の場合（ばあい）は、１週間に２回ぐらい行きます。家族が多いので、セールの日にまとめ買（が）いを良くしますよ。

So, like this, if you add \[ \] explanation and English translation, it will be helpful to understand and check your sentences more accurately.

​

**④Choose a topic form the List and Write your sentences.**

If you want to write sentences with other grammar topics for N5 Level learning or review.

(W6) Check the below Grammar List and choose a topic.

(W7) Write your single style sentences with the grammar topic. Or like above “Advanced Example”, try to write Person A and B Dialogue with your chosen grammar topic.

(You can see “lesson number” and “name of grammar topic” on the list. So, please write your chosen lesson number e.g., L14-2 and name of the topic with your sentences. it will be helpful to understand and check your sentences more accurately.)

(W8) Post your Dialogue in 48 hours from posting this thread.
