ようこそ!
This is a club where we work through Genki 2 (various editions) together. You don’t have to have Genki 2 to join in the fun, though! Anyone who would like to practice upper beginner grammar is welcome to join anytime. いっしょうに日本語が上手になります。
今週のテーマ
We’re working on Chapter 13 (see grammar points thread). Continue to add to that thread as you work through the exercises in the front half of the main book. This week, get started on Ch 13 in the workbook (front half). Put extra effort into listening practice this week.
Start date: 18 April 2022
先週: Ch 13 Grammar week (Genki 2 and friends grammar club - Week 1)
Home thread: https://community.wanikani.com/t/upper-beginner-grammar-club-genki-iigenki-2-and-friends
Listening
今週、聞く練習しましょうね。Whether or not you have Genki, you can download the Japan Times OTO Navi app, search for Genki, and download the listening exercises for the main book and workbook.
The last listening exercises in the workbook are normally the most challenging, so don’t be discouraged if they are too difficult! Spend more time on the listening examples from the main book exercises, listen multiple times, and ask about what you don’t understand (I have the Ed 2 answer key which has transcripts).
Other exercises
The workbook also has several open-ended questions. いっしょうに書きましょうね。Write your answers here and/or respond to someone else’s writing.
Discussion
This week’s practice prompt is to practice listening:
In addition to Genki’s listening exercises, here are some podcasts at our level that I found (with transcripts!) along the theme that we have this week (although, it’s not really well aligned with the grammar). Please post additional links in the comments!
Also,
-
Ask questions about the grammar points and compare them to similar points.
-
Write additional practice sentences and contribute to Q/A on the exercises in the workbook.
-
Define your starting point - where are you now with your Japanese listening skills? How would you most like that to improve in the next year?
