11. Self-introduction はじめまして → よろしく おねがいします！
はじめまして　→　よろしく　おねがいします！
Hajimemashite is like “pleased to meet you” (but only used on a first time meeting)
Yoroshiku onegaishimasu (or just yoroshiku) is “nice to meet you”
This is also used when you ask somebody a favor
“onegaishimasu” does not mean “senpai please notice me”

12. Practice (renshuu) You meet somebody for the first time.
You see your neighbor in the afternoon.
You come to class in the morning. Greet you teacher, and also greet your friends.

You greet somebody in the evening.
You drop your book, and somebody hands it to you. What do you say? (there are two answers to this)
You finish eating.

Don’t worry if it takes you a few times
How did you practice?

19. たんご (tango) vocabulary
Take a look at page 40 and 41 in your book
What are they talking about?

24. First Grammar Point! わたし は しんじ です Watashi wa Shinji desu. I Shinji am.
わたし　は　しんじ　です
Watashi wa Shinji desu.
I Shinji am.
Unlike English, Japanese has a sentence structure where the verb comes at the end of a sentence. This is a SOV (Subject – Object – Verb) structure.
English has a SVO sentence structure: I am Shinji.

25. What is this は？ As you learned before, this is generally read ha.
HOWEVER, when it functions as a particle in a sentence… わた し　は　しんじ　です　it is read as a “wa”
Did you notice that こんにちは (konnichiwa) is spelled with a “ha” but is pronounced like a “wa”? It is actually a sentence particle (= mind blow) as this greeting is a shorter segment of a larger greeting phrase:
“konnichi wa gokiken ikaga desu ka?,” or “How are you feeling today?” ( 今日はご機嫌いかがですか？

26. What is a particle?
Particles are essentially sign posts in a sentence to mark different aspects of what is being said.
は (wa) is used in “watashi wa Shinji desu” to mark the “watashi” (= I) as the subject of the sentence
There are several particles: に、か、よ、ね、へ、が 、と among others. Each have a unique function.
Your knowledge of these will build over time. For now focus on “wa”

27. Back to the grammar point
Watashi wa Shinji desu.
Molnar-san wa sensei desu.
Tanaka wa Nihon-jin desu.
So, you can see that “desu” is the verb “to be”: I am Shinji; Mr. Molnar is a teacher; Tanaka is Japanese.
Different ways to say I?
Boku, ore, atashi…

28. Pro tip
Japanese tend to drop the subject + particle わたし　は (watashi wa) when the subject is clearly understood by both parties.
Rather than introducing yourself as Watashi wa X desu, you would generally just say “X desu.”
Native speakers of English have a STRONG tendency to want to say the “watashi wa” as they feel a need identify the subject… RESIST!
What about Spanish and Chinese, can you drop the subject?

29. Practice (renshuu)
Try to figure out how to say these with your partner, feel free to use the words on p :
I am a student.
My name is XXX (use your actual name).
Mr. Smith is American.
Mrs. Takeda is a lawyer.
Mrs. Furukawa is Japanese.
Gakusei desu
(Namae wa) XXX desu
Sumisu-san wa Amerika-jin desu.
Takeda-san wa bengoshi desu.
Furukawa-san wa Nihon-jin desu.

30. What about he/she?
It is possible in a pinch, but generally is not used when the subject is understood between the two speakers.
He = kare
She = kanojyo
(these are also the words for boyfriend and girlfriend)
You could say “kare wa nihonjin desu” but generally drop the subject.
