みんなの日本語L13-1：こんにちは。I am Japanese. To study English, I am teaching Japanese in English. Write your sentences with “・・・がほしいです”. 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 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 “・・・がほしいです”.

(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 “・・・がほしいです” 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 **“**・・・がほしいです**”** **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 86 in Minna No Nihongo Second Edition Elementary Japanese 1 Translation & Grammar Notes – English. I added “\[ \] My grammar interpretation”.

​

**“☆Basic Example Dialogue”**

A: いま　なにが　いちばん　ほしい ですか。\[\*1\]

ima naniga ichiban hoshii desuka

What do you want most right now? \[\*1\]

\[When people ask a question by using interrogative wordなにwith particleが, it is good for us to respond by using Noun + が particle like くるま＋が　below. いちばん= most is adverb and ほしい follows conjugation rule of いAdjective such as ほしい、ほし くない、ほし かった、ほし くなかった.\]

B: くるまが　ほしいです。 \[\*1\]

kurumaga hosiidesu

I want a car. \[\*1\]

\[Full sentence is いま　くるまが　いちばん　ほしいです。You can omit　いまand いちばん\]

​

**“☆Advanced Example”**

A: 何か欲（ほ）しいものはありますか。

B: プレステ５が欲しいです。でも、今は品切（しなぎれ）れの店が多くて、なかなか買えないんですよ。オークションサイトでは、値段（ねだん）が何倍（なんばい）にもなっていて、非常（ひじょう）に高いので、通常（つうじょう）の値段で買えるようになったら、買おうと思います。Aさんはどうですか。

A:　新しいビデオカメラがほしいです。　カメラで撮影（さつえい）する時に、画面（がめん）の揺（ゆ）れを抑（おさ）えてくれるスタビライザーが搭載（とうさい）されているカメラがほしいです。

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