みんなの日本語 L5-10: こんにちは。I am Japanese. To study English, I am teaching Japanese in English. Write your sentences with “だれと””. 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.

​

**②Instruction of Exercise**

If you are N5 Beginner level, start from “**Procedure 1”**. If you are intermediate level learner, see **“Procedure 2”**.

**“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 “だれと””.

(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 “だれと” 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 **“**だれと**”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 42, Lesson 5, 練習A-3 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 あなたは　だれと　にほんへ　きましたか。\[\*1\]

anatawa dareto nihon e kimashitaka。

Who came to Japan with you?

\[だれ means “Who”. Particleと means “with” in this situation. Person A is asking “with who”. \]

B わたしは　かぞくと　 にほんへ　 きました。 \[\*1\]

watasiwa kazoku to nihon e kimashita。

\[Noun(Person) と　means “with Person” \]

​

**“☆Advanced Example”**

A: Bさんは誰（だれ）と京都へ来たんですか。

B: 私は友人と一緒（いっしょ）に京都に来ました。私の友人もちょうど京都に行きたいと言っていたので、観光（かんこう）するために、先月、来日（らいにち）しました。

A: 京都の町はどうでしたか。

B: 歴史的（れきしてき）な神社仏閣（じんじゃぶっかく）が大切に保存（ほぞん）されているし、食べ物も美味しいので、素晴らしい町だと思いました。

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