**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 way of practicing N5 to Beginner and Intermediate level learners who want to review grammar by writing sentences.
This series also contains Speaking exercises for Beginner level. Usually, beginners have difficulty judging which topic is more important. From Japanese speaker’s viewpoint, I will choose the more important and skip the less important grammar topics. This way, you can save time. This could be considered a shortcut.
If you try to write your answer in accordance with the “②Instruction of Exercise” below and post them within “48 hours” from posting this thread, I will try to comment on and check your sentences. Although I cannot respond to all (Especially, off topic) because I have limited time, I will try to comment. Also, I welcome you to follow my SNS and Reddit account.
​
**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 “Teform ＋もいいですか”.
(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 “Teform ＋もいいですか” 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 **“**Teform ＋もいいですか**”** **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 and translations from Page 98 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1 Translation & Grammar Notes – English. I added “（） My grammar interpretation”.
**“☆Basic Example Dialogue”**
A： ここで たばこを すっても いいですか。 \[\*1\]
kokode tabakowo suttemo iidesuka
May I smoke here? \[\*1\]
（すいます is Masu Form andすってis Teform. We useもいいですか when we ask “permission”.）
B1： ええ、\[すって も\] いいですよ。 \[\*1\]
ee, suttemo iidesuyo
Yes, you may smoke. \[\*1\]
（You can just say いいですよ。Or, We can use Teform＋ もいいです/いいですよ, when we give a permission for someone to do.）
B2： すみません。ちょっと。\[\*1\]
Suimasen chotto
Sorry, I’d prefer it if you didn’t. \[\*1\]
（If you want to refuse politely, you can add ごえんりょください and say すみません。ちょっと、ごえんりょください。. You can also say もうしわけないですが、ごえんりょください。.）
​
**“☆Advanced Example”**
A: お店のなかで、動画（どうが）を撮影（さつえい）してもいいですか。
B: すみませんが、他（ほか）のお客様（きゃくさま）のご迷惑（めいわく）になるので、ご遠慮(えんりょ)下（くだ）さい。
A: じゃあ、自分の注文（ちゅうもん）した料理をブログに載（の）せたいので、料理の写真だけ撮ってもいいですか。
B: はい、それなら大丈夫です。
So, like this, if you add \[ \] explanation and English translation, it will be helpful to understand and check your sentences more accurately.

ここでお酒を飲んでもいいですか。
I am very pleased to follow this Thread as it will give me an opportunity to get clear my difficulties and doubts on sentence construction in Japanese. I am an Intermediate student, have got through N4 in 2020. I like to watch Japanese movies and TV serial’s. In reciprocation, I can and would love to help you with your English, if you want to.
